Atlanta United's debut at Mercedes-Benz Stadium delayed until September

This is a modal window.

Herculez Gomez says Atlanta United's play early on in MLS has matched the work they put in off the pitch.

Construction delays will prevent MLS expansion club Atlanta United from moving into Mercedes-Benz Stadium in July as planned, the team announced on Tuesday.

United had been scheduled to open the sparkling $1.6 billion, 71,000-seat venue it will share with the NFL's Atlanta Falcons on July 30 against Orlando City. That match will now be played a day earlier at Georgia Tech's Bobby Dodd Stadium, where United has hosted its first two MLS games.
