Despite the three-month delay in the finishing of Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta United plans to unveil its season-ticket prices next month and that they won’t be affected by what may be a compressed home schedule.

Team owner Arthur Blank told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution of the delay, related to the structure that will support the stadium's retractable roof and video board, on Thursday. The new opening has been pushed from March to June 1. As a result, Atlanta United may be forced to open its first MLS season in 2017 with three months of games on the road. The MLS regular season, consisting of 34 games, starts in March and run runs until October.

Blank said he expects the team will still be able to host 17 home games. He also mentioned the possibility of playing home games in another stadium until the new one is finished. He didn’t specify which stadium. There are only a few in Georgia that are large enough to accommodate a soccer field as well as the possibility of hosting at least 30,000 season-ticket holders. Team spokeswoman Elena Cizmaric said there is plenty of time before the club will consider finalizing a contingency plan.

She said the possibility of playing home games in something other than the new stadium will not affect the season-ticket prices because the team's intent is to play all 17 home games at the new stadium.

The stadium delay may affect more than just the team playing a long string of regular season games on the road. It may also affect the team’s ability to host supporters for preseason and exhibition games because the plan for the team’s training facility in Cobb County doesn’t include a stadium.
