BLACK SUNDAY! 100% OFF! BLACK SUNDAY! 100% OFF!Seriously doubt it. When they won world series in 1995 out side of the party zone of Buckhead there was almost no visible celebration. As someone who was a falcons fan back when Bob Berry was the QB it would almost seem strange to utter the words “Atlanta Falcons Super Bowl Champions”.

It appears that, being a Californian, you don’t understand certain sociological phenomena pertaining to just when, where and why “victory riots” occur.
Hint: it ain’t in the south. Such behavior is a northern irrationality, going on a rampage just because you won a flippin’ game. Or, going on a rampage just because you lost a flippin’ game, for that matter.
If folks down south are going to make a scene over a game, it’s going to occur during or immediately following the game, in the venue itself.
Maybe you’re confused because it happens in Oakland, too. Well, I suspect a look at migratory patterns would tell the tale.
If you have visited OFTEN, you might have some anecdotal evidence to draw from.
I live here, and have for 15 years. Atlanta has some danger zones in the southern areas: East Point, College Park, places like that. But midtown? Nope. It's very sparsely populated on the weekends. And certainly most of the other areas are quite safe.
Georgia police DON'T PLAY, not even slightly, so I would expect any outbursts to be met with great exposure to pavement.
I expect little to nothing.
I do ask why you would. What exposure to Atlanta have you had?
I live near downtown Atlanta, about 2 miles from the Capitol. It never occurred to me that there could be a riot, whether the Falcons win or lose, until I read this thread.
Disappointment if the Falcons lose, but a riot, no.
