In an email sent to season ticket holders Thursday, Atlanta United announced via president Darren Eales that the club intends to open Mercedes-Benz Stadium to a limited number of fans later this season, in accordance with guidance set by the Centers for Disease Control.
“When we are prepared to welcome supporters at Atlanta United matches again, we will be implementing CDC social distancing guidelines upon entry and in the seating bowl, which will initially result in a 10,000u201020,000 seat capacity inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium,” the letter states.
The email includes a survey to gauge demand in fan interest in attending at all, as well as if respondents would wish to upgrade their seats to suites at added cost.
