A city that size and the promotion they did to build this game in a new stadium. Its not that shocking. Half the tenants will never go again or probably don't even understand the sport. More of a being a part of history thing. Chances are this wont happen again, similar to Orlando's "Fill the bowl" when they played in the Citrus bowl.

The US will be a football country in 10 years, 20 max, simply because the kids like it, and you don't have to be 6'6" to play it or 250 pounds to be good at it, if you're short and skinny you can play it and be a star.

Calen Carr I understand what the program is set up for but the question is how to get some of the top athletes to play. Go into homes of the best 10-14 year old athletes in that area with the talk of being signed if they can develop first touch,dribbling and passing. I'm sure the strength and pace are there go steal the kids from other sports.

@TeemATL 6 жыл бұрын

They pretty much sucked up the top end talent in town. I hope all this hype reaches into those areas your talking about and helps lead a trend in the US. Every MLS team is depending on that.

@calencarr.fieldnotes 6 жыл бұрын

I think it needs to start earlier. 10-14 yrs old is too late for players to develop into professionals. Get kids playing at 4,5,6 years old and let them enjoy the game and have it become of a part of their lives/routine. That's what is special to me about MARTA and the point made in the video, soccer is becoming a part of urban life vs. something you have to leave your community to take part in.

We've made the playoffs every year, and are neck and neck with LA on profitability. So ATL has a lot of work to do before they can claim "Best Expansion".

I was at a baseball game last year, and I was talking to a guy about Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders after the baseball game. When I went to the Augusta Mall the other day, there was a man, and a woman there, wearing Atlanta United clothing. When I go in the neighbourhood by St. Mary on the Hill Church in Augusta, I see Atlanta United Flags outside of people's houses. They took off really well. I would love to see America become a soccer country, and we're getting closer every year, and I'll tell you what, it's a lot more of a reality now, than it was when I was growing up.

That said, fellow Carolinians, don't forget about the Charleston Battery in USL. I don't actually like most "hip hop". I'm an Alt Rocker. Which explains why I'm a Sounders fan.

They talked about Julio Jones (the Falcons had just drafted him), and how popular soccer was here, and how soccer has been in our family. I really think Mr. Blank knew more than anyone else that Atlanta is a soccer town. Bravo to uncle Arthur, best owner in the NFL and MLS.

In the early days of MLS they were marketing to the kids & soccer moms (the dipn dots crowd) and building stadiums in the suburbs, but that was a bad move. Take the Colorado Rapids as an example. The supporters groups have to take charter busses from their downtown soccer bars out to the edge of Denver for games, and there are literally no amenities around the stadium. Fast forward a decade and the teams with big support are all downtown and are going for a younger more energetic demographic. I think the league should force the older teams to move their stadiums to a more central location or revoke their franchise and give it to someone who will follow the Portland/Orlando/Atlanta model.

Why would you be surprised about the rappers? They embraced the braves in the 90's.

Atlanta as a city has had bad luck with sports teams winning titles. Maybe ATL UTD will win an MLS cup soon -From a San Jose fan

Anthony Long yea but it wouldn't even be close to what a title from one of the big four or in Atlanta's case, the big three would be.

I'm happy for Atlanta and I respect what they're doing, but it makes me mad to see my team, San Jose, is constantly disrespected by the front office year after year. I can see what's happening in places like Atl and Cinci, I just wish my team had that same support and care from the owners. I may be across the country but I'm going to be rooting for Atl, unless they're playing SJ.

No Almiron and no Tata changes things. And most fans that go to the matches don’t go for the game, they go for atmosphere which is totally different from other areas around the world.

I think it's the other way around. You are finally getting a grip on why people love football so much. Here in Argentina and many countries people would go to the matches religiously for decades even if their team wins absolutely nothing. Why? Because of that atmosphere, passion you talk about. Atlanta is the first club, in my view, that has that Latin/British/Italian vibe.
