Party hard with the fan groups

Whether you vibe with Resurgence (grassroots and rowdy), Footie Mob (progressive and fun) or Terminus Legion (positive sportsmanship), these crews keep the energy alive before, during and after every match.

Sign the spike

Right before kickoff, a special guest hammers in the Golden Spike, signed by supporters. It’s Atlanta’s nod to its railroad roots, and past “spikers” have been everyone from celebs to local heroes. Who’ll it be when you’re there?

Feel the game

Feel the stadium shake when the train horn blows after a goal, join in on chants and don’t miss the massive TIFOs — giant murals fans reveal for one game only. Each one is basically stadium art.
