It’s only appropriate that the first MLS Insider episode of 2017 would look at the MLS team that just played their first-ever match, Atlanta United FC.
The newest episode of MLS Insider gives a behind the scenes look at Atlanta United technical director Carlos Bocanegra at the club’s inaugural match, a thrilling, yet ultimately disappointing, 2-1 defeat to the New York Red Bulls in front of a sold-out crowd of 55,000-plus at Bobby Dodd Stadium last Sunday.
Atlanta will play the second match in club history this Sunday, when they’ll take on expansion partner Minnesota United FC at the Loons’ MLS home opener at TCF Bank Stadium (5 pm ET; ESPN2 in the US | MLS LIVE in Canada).

Where were these crowds at the Atlanta Silverback games??

@DJQuin81 7 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately, the Silverbacks don't have the funding, the marketing team, the ownership, the leverage, and the names that MLS does. It happens with the lower leagues, they don't perform at professional levels, they don't get professional level crowds.

@benmanis5289 7 жыл бұрын

superluis64 Silverbacks never cared about Atlanta, attempted to market to anyone outside of the bubble of fans that already knew about them, and it was difficult to get to games and was terribly run. So in turn, the city didn't care about them. Also, it's just natural that people will be more drawn to top flight teams.

jorge hdz I agree, I'm Aussie so I follow my league (A-League) and we are only in our 12th season and we have way better atmosphere than most of the MLS teams but I watched this game on TV and I was impressed. The Atlanta crowd sounded so passionate

@jlb74a 7 жыл бұрын

@Ethan.... dont forget MSL is in its 22nd season and the US has a big challenge to bring the sport into a continent of 325 million people where other sports rule. Leagues like NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NASCAR get more tv viewers and live attendance than soccer, even college football NCAA and college basketball NCAA produce massive revenue and viewers than soccer.. Every time MLS soccer expands into a new market the league gets diluted in terms of quality players as player personnel move from one club to another, so this in itself pulls the whole league into a mediocre entertainment... But we are the Yanks, and we will get there.

@ethanvanheel4166 7 жыл бұрын

jlb74a Same over here in Straya man. We have AFL which is our own sport and the most popular down here, NRL which is rugby, Cricket, NBL which is our basketball league in its 35th season I think and also Tennis. Soccer doesn't get big TV views or anything due to not being free to air so it's hard for the A-League to grow but we have amazing fans and my team (Melbourne City) is only 7 years old and we have the 4th best fan group down here

as a Filipino fan, I just wanna know if MLS teams have plans to expand their stadium in the future... like increase the capacity to 50K?

@zyxwut321 7 жыл бұрын

Probably not in the near term. What's more likely is that some of the most popular and successful markets like Seattle will open up their football stadium seating further to soccer. In the early years of MLS all the teams played in football stadiums and the poor field adaptations, chronically empty stadiums and 2nd tier feel of the league that the stadium experience promoted almost killed the league.

@AllenC040170 7 жыл бұрын

thank you for your wonderful insights, I was thinking maybe 20 years for now... and I like Orlando City SC's new stadiu... if they can keep that attendance every match for the next 5 years, I'm sure expansion will come...

Soccer fans are such pretentious cunts. Clubs football is all about buying players. The promotion system is at fault. The NFL has a draft, so the worst team last season gets first pick. It's super competitive. Only five teams have won the premier league. They win cause they buy it. That fluke last year. Well that happens a lot in a functional league. Yeah Man United isn't a brand.
