also, Colbert asked if the GA dome would be full, and Dean silently dodged the question. Im hoping Dean can answer that question with a resounding "yes" in a few years.... that is if we continue to do this years Homework.

If we don't fill the dome this year, perhaps by the time we get back to Atlanta (2014?) the teams may be big enough to do it. Dean's homework notwithstanding, it's hard enough to get attendance at a 3-hour baseball game but impossible without beer. So 8 hours of mechanical mayhem without alcohol will be a real tough sell to non-relatives of the participants. Sorry, Dean, it will be easier to make those 150 pound machines fly than to fill the Georgia Dome. Unless of course someone dares to play the trump card - cheerleaders!
