The Atlanta Falcons first home game at the Georgia Dome this year will kick-off Saturday night at 8pm against San Diego. Fans from Flowery Branch are sure to get a charge out of this pre-season contest as Alexis Hart, a student at Flowery Branch High School, will be singing the National Anthem.
Other scheduled activities for the game include a quarter of youth football at halftime, hundreds of Chik-Fil-A plush cows parachuting into the stands, and 2009 season schedule magnets are being given out at the gates.
The third pre-season game is usually the one that features the most playing time for the starters, so fans should be able to get at least a full half of meaningful football.
In a regular season game last November, the Falcons handled the Chargers 22-16 in San Diego as Michael Turner racked up 120 rushing yards on his former team.
