          The Atlanta Falcons are feeding their fans well in honor of owner Arthur M. Blank's induction into the team's Ring of Honor.

          Levy Restaurants and the Falcons have purchased 100,000 hot dogs, bags of chips and souvenir cups featuring Blank for Sunday's home game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The promotion includes two complimentary hot dogs and two bags of chips per fan until the end of the third quarter. They will also be allowed free refills in their souvenir cups.

          The 100,000 hot dogs purchased for Atlanta's Week 3 game is 10-20 times the sales volume at Mercedes Benz Stadium is more than the total number of hot dogs (82,000) sold in the 2023 season. The Falcons are preparing for the promotion by adding 20 additional concession stands for the hot dogs, along with an outdoor kitchen with 12 ovens.

          The Falcons began their season 1-1, with a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers and a clutch last-minute win against the Philadelphia Eagles, where quarterback Kirk Cousins connected on a seven-yard pass to Drake London for a touchdown. Younghoe Koo's field goal kick sealed the victory.
