I'm pretty sure a soda is $8 at the Linc.
Is that just for the MLS or do they actual do that for Falcons games too?

I think it's that people buy more at the cheaper prices then they do in other stadiums.I assume they make their money back on beer & the more higher end food in the stadium?

Lots of people just completely avoid concession stands because of the ridiculous prices.
I will say that when I was there for the Super Bowl, they didn't change the prices for the game which was WILD. I also was amazed that they just have soda fountains where you can refill your soda free of charge. Absolutely wild concept after you've seen what you see up here in Philly.
Arthur Blank has lead the charge on the food prices, IIRC.
I'm assuming Blank can get away with it because MBS is basically the Wells Fargo Center of NFL stadiums, as it gets used for a bevvy of events beyond just home games for the Falcons. College football has three marquis games a year there (Chick fil a kickoff, SEC championship, NY6/playoff/national championship games), an MLS team, and it's basically the only major concert venue in Atlanta.It’s definitely cheaper on families with kids at least. Even for soda & run of the mill stadium food (which kids generally go for) even that cost an arm & a leg here in all the sports stadiums let alone the specialty stuff.

McPhearson was the backup nickel CB, they played him outside against the Browns and he was repeatedly targeted - it's not like he was toast, but a step behind and struggled to locate the ball in the air. Given his experience, he's probably reached his upside, which is a 4th or 5th CB.
Jobe passed him as the backup to Slay and Bradberry, but given how bad Scott looked last year, may lead a void at nickel, especially since Maddox is injury prone. Look for Goodrich to get a lot of time at nickel this week, I think Ringo and Ricks are too long for that spot.

Pretty much the story of all animals in captivity. There are some exceptions as to breeding programs attempting to help endangered species, or extremely large sanctuaries that replicate to the best of their ability (or are actually in) the environment the animal would normally live in.that really sucks, I was very excited to hear about his plans. Poor thing deserved better.
Was probably getting cut.
Iam very uneducated when it comes to football. Iam wrong a lot of times about this Sport. But i say it nevertheless. McKee seems to be a starter in 2 or 3 years especially learning from Hurts in the QB Room for the next 2.years. he will be the 2nd QB next year and will be traded for a good return in year 3 or 4.
absolutely agree. The only exception being Disney's Animal Kingdom. Which is a large scale conservation effort, and a very successful one too. (The secrets of Disney's animal kingdom on Disney+ is an excellent series, highly recommend).Pretty much the story of all animals in captivity.

There are also some situations where an animal is disabled and can't be returned to the wild and needs human care, or an animal was taken from the wild and raised by a human so it also can't be returned... but exceptions to the rule.
But most commercial zoos, aquariums, whatever don't really tend to fall into those. It's just taking animals out of their normal environments and putting them in a much more cramped prison in order to make money off people coming to look at them.
