Yeah, I've learned to hold back a few minutes when leaving MBS to avoid the crush. Luckily there is always the golden spike ceremony to keep you occupied at United matches while you wait.

Atlanta is like a Euro league following now. Congrats this is helping MLS credibility a lot. Cincinnati and Atlanta are the best soccer cities I have been. I heard Portland and Seattle are great as well but never been to both cities.

He certainly has made a wise investment in the city. Smart moves like Atlanta United and "Fan First Pricing" on concessions have been win-win for all.

That bridge should never have been built. Certainly not with tax payer dollars.

It’s just good to see true unity with all nations and cultures celebrating together. Nothing else unifies like sports in Atlanta.

Yeah, I love the atmosphere and crowds at ATL UTD games. Great diver mix of people and already a rich tradition developing around games that pull from things like international style marches to the stadium and southern style tail gate parties.
