Atlanta United is ramping up for its much-anticipated 2018 home debut this weekend at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. With more than 70,000 fans decked out in red, black and gold expected for the match, it will be a spectacle in the stands for certain. But going off last year’s performances, it’s fair to say it will be a spectacle on the field as well. Here, in chronological order, are the most memorable moments at Mercedes-Benz Stadium thus far.
The First Goal
The first time the Five Stripes crowd roared on a goal is something fans will remember. Leandro González Pirez made history by sliding in at the back post to guide home the first goal in a 3-0 win over FC Dallas in the first match at the stadium.
