I actually got into Atlanta United because of my brother-in-law and his passion for the sport. We are huge Atlanta sports fan and used to be Falcons Season Ticket Members, so his excitement for a new soccer club at Mercedes-Benz Stadium pulled me in. We travel to Europe every summer and check out as many soccer matches as we can, which just made me fall even more in love with the sport. Getting season tickets felt like the perfect way to bring that same energy back home.
