The Philadelphia Eagles are in Atlanta tonight to play the Falcons. The road team might not be feeling too far away from home, however. It appears Eagles fans have invaded the city! Take a look:

Along with these fans, Bleeding Green Nation's own Dave Mangels (@Southern_Philly) and Dan Klausner AKA Danta Klaus (@dklausner) are also on the scene. Here are some of the pictures Dave sent me, including an appearance from BGN commenter StoneColeKiller58:
This could be bad news for the Falcons, who no longer have the benefit of pumping fake crowd noise into the Georgia Dome.
