The Atlanta Falcons have been linked to officials from Los Angeles, but owner Arthur Blank said he believes the franchise's future will be Atlanta.

“We’re committed to Atlanta, the city, the region and the state," Blank said Friday while visiting the Super Bowl media center. “We’re making progress on our deal working with the [Georgia World] Congress Center, the mayor’s office, the governor’s office, the community and doing all the things we need to do to get the deal done with the city of Atlanta." 

The Falcons are attempting to build a new stadium in downtown Atlanta.

“I was never approached," Blank said. “My team was never approached. If someone in Atlanta, outside of the Atlanta Falcons was ever approached, I have no idea."
