Welcome to BGO!

BGO - The road less traveled
My parents moved a year after I graduated high school. As the bird flies, probably less than 5 miles door to door over the Potomac.

Welcome y'all!

On ExtremeSkins, my user name was "Beauty is Only", a reference to the phrase finished by our new member's user name "Skin Deep". The circle is complete.

Welcome, Goskins10! It's good to have another Atlanta resident here. In Atlanta itself, or the metro? I'm in Hampton.

Thanbk you for the welcome! Was in Buckhead (starting 2017) but recently moved to Macon. Time to retire! I love Atlanta but it's a bit costly for retirement. And I really like Macon so far. Been here since September.

We need to get a contingent for the Atlanta game next year. They play here. skinsmarydu and I have been to the last two games here - both victories I might add :)
 
I like to go to 1 away game per season but I’m picky about the location. I would love to go to Green Bay but don’t think I’m ready for the travel ordeal. Been there done that to KC. I was hoping for a game in Europe but that didn’t come to pass. Atlanta seems good but I’ve never been beyond the airport. Is there much to do in the city to interest a tourist?

This year’s away game might be in DC. Always good to go home again.
 
YES! Goskins10 is my lucky charm, I've been to probably 8 games, and the only wins I've seen were with him! We used to have a cool Redskins bar here that we'd meet up at to watch games, Skins stuff everywhere, but it turned into a disco (wtf?)

So glad you're here, buddy...this is the place. Hope you like it as much as I do.

Lot's to do in Atlanta. Aquarium, Olympic Park, the Coca Cola museum, the Civil Rights museum, the Freedom Walk, Martin Luther Kings home and church, Jimmy Carter Museum, and all kinds of eating and night life in Mid-Town. The stadium itself is awesome! It has a roof for starters. Not weather dependent. Also, very easy to get there by Marta.

My brother in law and I were at the Philly game in DC. It was so incredible. First game back in over a decade. I had sworn off home games will mini-me owned the team. I will likely go to at least one home game this year. I have family in the DC area still so I go up to see them regularly. Turns out there is a direct flight from Macon to BWI. Who knew! lol Once the schedule comes out I will figure out which home game(s) I plan to go to. But Atlanta is a definite!

Tons. Like he said, everything...good food everywhere, and Marta can get you anywhere. I wouldn't have spent 36 years here for nothin'.

Our stadium is phenomenal. Built primarily for our soccer team, with a rotating closure. Arthur Blank is a sports guy...

oops, quoted the wrong guy, but I hope Chris gets the point.

Nice! Well, then no one else should come that didn't attend the two victories, right? I mean, if it ain't broke...;)

Nah, I'm only superstitious on certain things! One is what I'm wearing...I'm sure Goskins10 would agree. You're more than welcome to join us!!!

I do appreciate the offer. Once we know the date, I'll look at how practical it would be. I've never paid to go to an NFL game. I've always gotten tickets from business relationships to attend. So, we'll see how much tickets sitting together would cost.
