When Atlanta United moved to the new stadium, Brian was stationed right in the thick of the supporters’ section. Since then, Brian has become a cult hero – leading chants, celebrating goals and becoming a fan favorite.

“When they score the fans go crazy on me, but I don’t want you to think I don’t do my job. I just cheer too. The fans listen to me now, which makes my job so much easier."

"I think the fans have a good time, they’re staying safe. Every stadium needs to be this way.”

Brian sits in the stands before games now – looking over what he calls the most beautiful stadium in the world – buzzing with anticipation before the match.
