There have been some trying times for Atlanta United and its supporters since it’s last vestiges of top-tier quality flamed out after the 2019 season. We all know what happened in the intervening years — years that have been a roller coaster with far more downs than ups. We got more than our fair share of false dawns in those years through the likes of glitzy high-priced signings that showed some initial promise only to flame out in due time.
Atlanta United is back. The litmus test for this is very simple: You, I, and everyone else is excited to watch this team play its next game.
