The past year has been a busy but fruitful one for Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United owner Arthur Blank. On Wednesday night, the 75-year-old was honored for his recent endeavors.
Blank was named the 2018 Sports Executive of the Year at the 11th annual Sports Business Awards. Blank received the award one year after Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium opened and the United began its first season of competition.
