For the last two years, I’ve had the honor to write about Atlanta United. Watching from afar, I’ve supported Atlanta as they rose through the MLS ranks and won the MLS Cup in just their second season of existence.
It’s been incredibly fun to watch the city of Atlanta grow into the biggest soccer city in the United States, but I knew I had to experience it for myself. The videos circulating on social media of fans in “The Gulch” and the famed supporters’ section were labelled as “must-see” by those in Atlanta, but the Mercedes-Benz Stadium itself was enticing enough.
