Bon Jovi to try to buy part of Falcons
Singer Jon Bon Jovi is in negotiations to buy 15 percent of the Atlanta Falcons from owner Arthur Blank.
The deal would bring in about $150 million, but Blank has downplayed the possibility and called it unlikely to happen.
Bon Jovi’s love of football is no secret, and he was the owner of the Philadelphia Soul of the Arena League for five years.
Blank is attemping to get some cash together to help the team’s financial situation and possibly build a new stadium.
The Falcons are worth approximately $1 billion, which is how the $150 million was derived.
