On Saturday, Atlanta United marked yet another milestone in their inaugural season as the team arrived at their new home of Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the first time. For most of the players, this was the first time seeing the facility since its beginning stages and the recently finished state-of-the-art facility in downtown Atlanta left the players in absolute awe.
“No words can describe what the stadium is,” said defender Greg Garza, “this is the first time I’ve actually seen it from the outside in. It’s beautiful.”
Goalkeeper Brad Guzan added, "The facilities are unbelievable…whether it’s the locker room, whether it’s the training room, whether it’s the area for after the game, before the game, they took everything into consideration for us…they’re not many stadiums, if any, in fact I don’t think there are any that can compare to this.
