Teresa Dumas says she and her husband have been Falcon fans for more than four decades.

"My husband was up until 12 midnight, he had to go to work at 3am. He came in and said, momma we got to have it all.... umbrella, flags, hats, t-shirts everything, so that's what I got...the last umbrella. I got my flag, I am ready to put it on my car," Dumas said with enthusiasm.

One Kennesaw customer bought more than 20 shirts, six hats, lots of banners and other merchandise. In all, her total was more than $1100 in Falcon's gear.
