2. The Competition 2 3. 3 The Solution 4. Drivers of Gameday Satisfaction 4 There are several factors that, when combined, shape the fans overall gameday satisfaction; the five most influential drivers are listed below: Game Entertainment Arrival Experience In-Game Enhancements & Technology Leaving the Stadium Safety & Security 5. Gameday Satisfaction Key Findings Overall Gameday Experience: Ranked #8 in the NFL Game Entertainment: Crowd energy level and in-game entertainment elements have the most impact, and of these, fans are least satisfied with the in-game entertainment elements which is the second lowest rated attribute in this driver Arrival Experience: Sense of safety prior to the game is critical and, for the Falcons, is the highest rated aspect of the Arrival Experience for GA STH In-Game Enhancements & Technology: Quality of gameday wireless is key; 84% of the fans use Wi-Fi, call, or text during the game, but only 2 in 5 indicate they are satisfied with the quality of service Leaving the Stadium: Sense of safety while leaving stadium is key, but only 55% of STH and CLB indicate they are satisfied with this gameday attribute Safety & Security: Security screening process while entering the stadium is critical with more than half of GA STH and about three-quarters Club ticket holders rating it in the Top 3 Box; however, it is the lowest rated attribute among GA STH within this driver 6.

Hypothesis: Clubs with strong brand equity drive broader and deeper fan engagement beyond having success on the field and/or relying on high profile players and coaches. Clubs with strong brand equity have team traditions and entertainment that focus on the fan and attributes of the stadium rather than relying on players and coaches. The Falcons Brand Premise 12.
