And when they take the field against the Patriots in Houston, their entire franchise will be there to support them.  According to Jeff Schultz of the Atlanta Constitution-Journal, franchise owner Arthur Blank is paying to send every Falcons employee — every single one! — to Houston for the big game. Falcons owner Arthur Blank plans to take every employee in organization to Super Bowl. We're talking hundreds. — Jeff Schultz (@JeffSchultzAJC) January 23, 2017 As SB Nation revealed, there are approximately 270 employees in the Falcons directory, and the cheapest Super Bowl tickets are currently listed at over $3,000. When you factor in travel arrangements, we're talking well over $100,000. Blank, the co-founder of Home Depot, is worth a cool $3 billion. This shouldn't be too much of a problem.   SEE ALSO: Robert Kraft took a thinly veiled shot at Roger Goodell and the NFL after the Patriots advanced to the Super Bowl   Share the latest business news with your network:    Email sent to:   |   Manage your email preferences   |   Unsubscribe Terms of Service   |   Privacy Policy Business Insider. 150 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10011
