Technical Tidbits 10/6: Bobby Dodd Stadium to host Atlanta’s MLS team, Jackets to seek more forced turnovers at Pitt

With Atlanta’s new Mercedes-Benz Stadium not set to open until well after the beginning of the 2017 MLS season, the newly-minted Atlanta United FC will have to play its first few home games at Georgia Tech’s Bobby Dodd Stadium. Though the situation is hardly optimal for ATLUTD ticket holders who paid for seats at a brand new venue with much more club-level seating than Bobby Dodd has to offer, it will be neat to see the stadium transformed into a soccer venue for a while. The mess could get even worse, however, if Mercedes-Benz overshoots its summer 2017 build date and extends into Falcons football season.
