FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) – Falcons owner Arthur Blank says he has seen enough of the NFL’s investigation of fake crowd noise at Atlanta’s home games to acknowledge wrongdoing.
The NFL is trying to determine if the Falcons pumped artificial crowd noise into the Georgia Dome for home games the last two years. Apparently, the answer is yes.
Blank told The Associated Press on Tuesday “I think what we’ve done in 2013 and 2014 was wrong.”
Blank says he expects the league to report its findings in two to three weeks.
The Falcons could be fined or penalized with the loss of a draft pick if found to have added fake crowd noise during the opposing team’s huddles when trying to call a play.
Blank says the team has cooperated with the investigation.
