And when they take the field against the Patriots in Houston, their entire franchise will be there to support them.

According to Jeff Schultz of the Atlanta Constitution-Journal, franchise owner Arthur Blank is paying to send every Falcons employee — every single one! — to Houston for the big game.

As SB Nation revealed, there are approximately 270 employees in the Falcons directory, and the cheapest Super Bowl tickets are currently listed at over $3,000.
