The atmosphere for Atlanta United’s opening game inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium was unlike anything team president Darren Eales has seen in Major League Soccer.
Atlanta United won the opening game inside the stadium on Sunday over FC Dallas, 3-0.
"There's probably a handful of games I can think of that were perhaps as loud as it was when the crowd will do (the A-T-L chant bouncing) off the roof," Eales said.
