Atlanta United’s incredible inaugural year just keeps getting better, and Monday marked another milestone moment for the club. MLS Commissioner joined Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and Atlanta United owner Arthur Blank to announce the 2018 MLS All-Star Game presented by Target will be played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Mayor Reed summed it up succinctly.
“This is a big deal,” he said.
Commissioner Garber called the announcement, which came just a day after the club set the MLS regular season attendance record for the second time this season, the icing on a cake that’s been baking slowly but beautifully for years.
