Will Falcons Fly Off to Doraville?

Are the Atlanta Falcons set to fly off to Doraville down the road?

According to reports, a developer wants to construct a new stadium for the Falcons at the closed General Motors plant in Doraville. Sembler Developers, in a proposal for the Doraville City Council, is talking about a 90-acre, retractable roof stadium for the site at a cost of around $1 billion.

The Falcons, who clinched at least a wild card berth last weekend in the upcoming NFC playoffs, have a lease with the Georgia Dome through 2020.

There has also been talk of a new Georgia Dome being built near the area of the current one, which the Falcons have called home since 1992.
