Hook ‘em Horns (1/1/2025)

This is a blog post from Bob. Yesterday, I attended the Peach Bowl, an annual college football game, this year featuring one of my two favorite college teams, the Texas Longhorns, playing the Arizona State Sun Devils. Though the Horns won, it wasn’t a convincing win.

The game was played in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in downtown Atlanta, a beautiful 71,000 seat stadium that opened in 2017 and is the home of the Atlanta Falcons. Below are pics from the day.

Next to the stadium was the huge Atlanta convention center where a fan appreciation event was held prior to kickoff.
The Longhorn marching band played at the fan fest.

Next time I attend an event at the stadium,
I wouldn’t mind staying here.

A Falcons statue right outside the stadium.
A mural of Atlanta places and people
from one of two long escalators up to the level where I sat.
Got there early and this was the view from my seat.

The stadium is known for having
relatively inexpensive food and drink prices.
This cost $6, where most stadiums would charge
$12-15 for the same meal.
A canned cocktail for $9,
which I would guess would be closer to $15
in most other stadiums.
