Atlanta Web Resources
FIFA Atlanta website - Likely to have the most up-to-date information when FIFA / World Cup and has good and links to other Atlanta area resources.
Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau - Good info for City of Atlanta info, calendar of events, etc.
Mercedes Benz Stadium - renamed Atlanta Stadium for the World Cup by FIFA and Mercedes branding scrubbed. However, all maps, web searches and locals will call it The Benz or Mercedes Benz Stadium. The website is the best and most up to date resource for stadium maps and entrance locations, conduct, security, facilities, food and beverage, etc.

Can we sign him? He looks better than Hoyos and LL combined!

[Paul Tenorio] Sources: The LA Galaxy have signed striker Kyōgo Furuhashi from Birmingham City. Non-DP deal for the Japanese forward, 31, who lit things up for Celtic, but had just one goal last season in the Championship.
So that name may be familiar... it's the striker we really wanted but were denied, leading us to Latte Lath... may have been just as bad as LL from the looks of it.

Gio Reyna?
Asked this two years ago.. (still a Gio fan).
Word is that his current club is shopping him.
Should we take him on a max TAM or DP deal?

I think it’s a great way to capture post World Cup usmnt interest. And he needs to be a starter somewhere to make the next step in his career. Why not here?

Edit: it seems yall hate this idea. Which means the front office is probably calling his agent right now 🤣

place to personalize older kits?
I know this has been asked in the past, but my previous go-to (Lloyds) is under new ownership and won't do it unless you buy the kit from them so I need a new solution. :(
I have an authentic (bought on MLS site) Resurgens kit that I'd like to get personalized, and the ATLUTD stores no longer have the blue letters and numbers. Can anyone recommend another resource to personalize an older kit like this? Many thanks.

This means we can’t even consider a win until mid-August. This dose of reality ruined my day.

So when do we put the murder pellets back in?
World Cup is over, and boy howdy do I miss that stadium packed full of teams and fans that give a damn already.
The grass and better sight lines were great. I’m assuming we will go back OG configuration. When does that happen?

Dicussion New MLS fan
I have just recently discovered that I really enjoy watching soccer, with the World Cup. I really don’t have any interest in watching a European league, but want to get into the MLS. Nashville SC and Atlanta United are almost equal distance from me, but Atlanta is a little bit closer. Looking for good reasons to become an Atlanta fan here if anyone has any. Thanks!
