The Atlanta Falcons had an epically important first at Thursday evening's game...the Chick-fil-A at Mercedes-Benz Stadium was finally open.
Due to Chick-fil-A's company policy of being closed on Sundays, Falcons fans haven't been able to enjoy the restaurant's world famous chicken and waffle fries until this Thursday. Something that was celebrated by all, including ESPN's Darren Rovell.
Another food-related update from Atlanta that Rovell had also had fans talking: the Falcon's $19 value meal deal. For the low cost of $19 (low by stadium standards and only stadium standards) fans could get two hot dogs, two unlimited drinks, two trays of waffle fries and a cheeseburger.
Actually, when you really crunch the numbers, that would be a pretty great deal even outside of a stadium. Most fans seemed to agree, but others mentioned similar deals that they believed offered better value.
Even without the extra dollar bill (that's not actually included with the meal), we'd have to say that's a pretty darn good deal. We suddenly feel incredibly jealous of fans in Atlanta.
