Falcons owner believes NFL games will occur in fall

And so we are all working together to make sure we find ways to do that, supporting one another but making sure that we do our part to get the economy going and get people back in a place where we have some sense of normalcy." Fans clamoring for sporting action of any kind right now would likely shudder at the thought of a football-less fall, so Blank's response is very encouraging. It's clear the incredibly successful businessman has thought long and hard about the situation and continues to mix his opinions with the latest information available."I think in the case of the NFL, so much of the product is absorbed by television, by media in different forms and formats, that even if we had to play some games without fans in the stands -- it's not preferable, it's not what our fans want, it's not what our players want, it's not what anybody wants -- but we could do it," Blank said.
