December 3rd, 2018 officially became “Atlanta United FC Day” as the Atlanta City Council recognized the club and its fans in the lead up to the MLS Cup on Saturday.
Councilmember Andre Dickens, who’s clearly a big fan of the Five Stripes, introduced the proclamation, which reads in part:
The Council Chambers were a lot more packed than usual, with members of The Faction, Footie Mob, Resurgens, and Terminus Legion supporters’ groups all gathered together in the audience.
Things also got a lot rowdier than usual. Footie Mob led the crowd, including all the members of the Council, in not-that-bad renditions of the “We Ready” and “We Are the A” chants.
