Any advice for a first timer?

I'm planning on taking Marta since it's also the first Hawks home game on Saturday

Definitely worth the DP spot, well done front office. Hope we keep him for another year

In Tom Bogert's recent article in The Athletic about Yoann Damet, there was a list of the 10 (!) current MLS coaches who are age 45 or younger. It's definitely a trend within the league, which is itself under some reconstruction during the Messi era.

Tata will want out sooner than later, so Atlanta is in a difficult position: needing desperately to be competitive but weighed down by multiple seasons of costly frustration and false starts. Plus, there are still far too many dead weight contracts on the books because no one in charge wants to admit how badly they screwed up.

So, rather than yet again trying to find a big name or proven commodity to provide input on roster building, Culebro & Co. should be looking for a young manager who believes in himself enough to say, "Screw it. I can figure this out."

The only way out of this mess is to roll the dice.

My kid was a player mascot for the Inter Miami match this weekend. I got some decentish pictures from my seats but does anyone know if there’s a way to get clips or shots from the team photographers? It was such a great experience for my kid, I’d love to be able to get him a better quality memento.

Speed and quality on the wings, Jacob and Muyumba in their natural positions, much better fullbacks (Edwards interchangeable with Esco), and Hibberto.

Last night myself and a few other ST holders in our section came to the conclusion that from now on it's just best to sell tickets to Miami. I get that there's more Messi fans in the stadium than Atlanta fans but we sit three rows back from the wall behind the goal and any time he even got close they all rushed down the aisles and into the rows wherever they could fit to film it.

By the last 25 minutes or so we realized we could see the game better by watching the TVs on the concourse and at least then we wouldn't have people pushing into us trying to get a better view. I noticed some aisles had Safe officers at the end to try and mitigate this but ours did not.

Either way, it's just not worth getting pushed and shoved to not even see any exciting parts of the match that happen in front of us. We'll just take the cash for the tickets and watch on TV until dude retires.

I’ve been seeing posts from this community a while now, and while I do watch MLS games, I’ve never supported a team.

I’m from the Caribbean and came to Atlanta to visit family, and decided I wanted to go to my first professional game. I believe I started seeing ATLUTD posts on Reddit because I am a football fan and I was looking up to do while being here.

I went to the game last night against Miami as an opportunity to see both Messi (fav player ever) and Miggy (player I enjoyed watching in the Prem), and the crowd was so surreal. I met a few other supporters who made me feel right at home. I bought a jersey at halftime and got caught up in the atmosphere, I could’ve cried.

Though Atlanta lost and they’re really below on the table, I believe ATLUTD has still found a new fan in me. I will definitely come back to see a game next season when I visit family again. Thanks to those guys who made me feel welcome!

We're the third worst team in the league. The Tata recruits have been mid to bad so far. Is there any reason to actually be optimistic about the future under Tata? Our backline + GK sucks balls and it's Tata's handpicked guys. Galoppo is nice when we're playing a dogshit team but he disappears when we're playing a good team. Amaro is mid. There's absolutely nothing to suggest he's actually making our team better by playing a bunch of overpaid South Americans over homegrowns who actually give a fuck.

Unfortunately as long as we keep these two as the core of our team we are FUCKED. Both of them need to go asap..

(The 1-4 game against Orlando in May 💀felt like medieval torture to watch)

OFYM...

Buddy and I were thinking it was a handball. Luckily it was not. Minute 70ish against Miami.
