As the Atlanta Falcons honor team owner Arthur Blank during the team’s Week 3 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, they will be giving back to their fans.
The Falcons will induct Blank into the team’s Ring of Honor on Sunday night during a matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The organization announced that for the game, the Falcons will offer fans free hot dogs, chips and soda.
There are some rules, but each fan that attendance the game will receive two free hot dogs and two bags of chips. Every fan will also receive a souvenir cup, which can be used for unlimited refills on soda.
Arthur Blank has put an emphasis on making sure concession prices at Falcons games are always cheaper than the rest of the NFL. For instance, hot dogs at Mercedes-Benz Stadium are only $2 normally. The stadium also always offers free refills on fountain drinks.
But obviously, the free hot dogs and chips take Blank’s “give back” to the fans to another level.
The Falcons have ordered 100,000 hot dogs for Sunday night. That’s more hot dogs than the team sold for the entire 2023 season.
The Falcons are inducting Blank into their ring of honor during his 23rd season of ownership. He bought the team from Taylor Smith, the son of the team founder, Rankin M. Smith Sr., in February 2002.
Under Blank’s ownership, the Falcons have posted nine winning seasons. They had only eight winning seasons in the first 36 seasons of the franchise.
