Q: What does Atlanta have to do to get another Super Bowl?

A: I met with the Governor (elect Nathan Deal) earlier today. I think this is a great community. But as I mentioned to the people earlier today, the competition for the Super Bowl is really at an all-time high, in a large part because of the new stadiums. The provisions that they have for a new stadium in this great community, I think that's a pretty powerful force. We have a history of going back to communities when they have those new stadiums.

Q: They are talking about an outdoor stadium. Would that hinder the Super Bowl bid?

A: We've been here before and we awarded the 2014 Super Bowl to New York. The game is meant to be played in the elements.

Q: Could you talk about the job the Falcons are doing under Arthur Blank?

A: I think we are both fortunate to have Arthur Blank. The NFL and this community. He's not only committed to putting a first class franchise together for this community, but he's also very important on the league level. He has been very critical. He serves on a lot of our committees and is a great member for the league."

Q: Are the Thursday Night games here to stay?

A: Well for the second half of the season, this is a great way to be able to continue bringing more football to more fans.

Q: Any progress or updates on the labor situation?

A: Not enough. We need to make more progress.
