The combined total attendance for Atlanta United’s first three home matches at Bobby Dodd Stadium is 147,230.

The record was previously set by the L.A. Galaxy during their 1996 inaugural season with 130,073.

At Atlanta United’s first match against the New York Red Bulls, 55,297 fans attended. Atlanta United’s second home match against the Chicago Fire drew a crowd of 45,922 and Sunday’s game against D.C. United had 46,011 fans in attendance.
