Gold Cup tickets sold out at Georgia Dome

Tickets are sold out for Wednesday’s Gold Cup matches at the Georgia Dome, according to CONCACAF.

More than 68,000 fans are expected, which would break a record for soccer of 68,212 in Atlanta set last year when Mexico played Nigeria at the dome.

The U.S. will play Jamaica at 6 p.m. and Mexico will face Panama at 9 p.m.

The U.S., the defending champ, hasn’t played in Atlanta since 1977.
