The Hawks borrowed something from the Birds (concession price cut), and how the Birds are benchmarking the Hawks:

Atlanta Falcons hire Ryan Cameron as game announcer at Mercedes-Benz Stadium

Former V-103 host Ryan Cameron will be adding to his sports announcing duties by becoming the game-day announcer at Mercedes Benz Stadium for Atlanta Falcons games starting next month. He made the three-year deal public last Friday at the Georgia Aquarium where he was co-hosting the Beulah Heights University Centennial Celebration with Monica Pearson.

For 14 years, Cameron has been the ebullient in-game announcer for the Atlanta Hawks at Philips Arena.

His distinctive wordplay and power at the mic has made him a fan favorite at games, the type of work that the Falcons hope he can replicate at Mercedes Benz starting this fall.

“Ryan is an Atlanta icon with a passion for Atlanta sports and the Atlanta Falcons,” said Pete Soto, senior director, game presentation, live events and stadium production, AMB Sports + Entertainment. “He has a unique delivery style that engages fans to participate in the stands and we are thrilled to have him as part of the Brotherhood.”

In an exclusive interview, Cameron said the NFL used to want game show announcers to stay bland and neutral but the league is loosening the rules and allowing more “hometown” favoritism. The Falcons approached him, he said.

Cameron, a life-long Atlantan, is a big-time Falcons fan. He has been a season ticket holder since 1998 when the Falcons lost in the Super Bowl to the Denver Broncos.

“I have done travel and parties and trips on buses and trains and planes to New Orleans for more than 15 years as the No. 1 Saints hater of all time,” Cameron said. “For me to go from the stands to the mic is really a big deal to me.”

While working with V-103, he also did the pre-game Falcons games for sister station 92.9/The Game for free in 2016-17.

What happens if there is a Hawks game and a Falcons game scheduled for the same time?  He's gonna be worn out running back and forth between the two venues on alternate plays.

Then we send him a chopper like Deion! Congrats Ryan.

He would probably just do the Falcons game.  I think they have some one as a backup for Cameron as PA announcer for the Hawks.  I think he missed a game last year and someone "stood in" his place.
