Atlanta United’s match against Charlotte will be played today at Mercedes-Benz Stadium but there will be limited food and drink options because of the boil water advisory in effect following several water main breaks throughout the city on Friday and Saturday.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 4:55 p.m. The stadium will be open to full soccer capacity.
Officials at the stadium and the team were asked Saturday morning if the match would still be scheduled. No answer was provided until posts were made by Atlanta United and by Mercedes-Benz Stadium around 8 a.m. Sunday morning.
The team and stadium encourage those in attendance to use hand sanitizers that will be located at the stadium and they apologized for the inconvenience.
The stadium sent out more information Sunday morning:
Concessions stands will be open but won’t sell soda from the fountain machines. Bottled water, bottled tea and can soda will be available for purchase.
Bars will offer full options of draft and packaged beer, mixed drinks and packaged cocktails
Each person is permitted to bring one factory-sealed, non-frozen 500mL (16.9 fl. Oz.) bottle of water into the stadium if desired (no soda, flavored water or sports drinks).
Restrooms will be open.
