Dec 04, 2016 at 04:49 AM

Falcons owner and chairman, Arthur Blank, made the Sports Business Journal's 50 Most Influential list, coming in at No. 41.

Here's what SBJ had to say about Blank:

"When the tab started to grow for the Falcons' new home, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Blank didn't blink. The costs kept going up from around $1 billion to $1.5 billion now, meaning Atlanta will be home to a true entertainment spectacle. Blank has other influence in league circles, too, especially with his role as chairman of the compensation committee."
