It’s not the season either the Dallas Cowboys or Atlanta Falcons fans wanted – both teams are 4-5 teams entering today’s 1 p.m. game – but fans will still show up in droves to kick off this holiday week in Atlanta. One of the newest features to the newest stadium in the NFL is the Home Depot Backyard, an 11-acre greenspace where the Georgia Dome used to be. It’s a multi-use community-oriented piece of property in the heart of downtown Atlanta, just adjacent to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which on home Falcons Sundays means tailgating! Inside Tailgating featured the new tailgating-friendly area in the fall edition of our magazine. Read on to find out what makes it so unique.
