Special Features

Golden Spike

Every home game Atlanta United players and supporters sign a big golden spike. Then before the game, a chosen ATLien hammers in the golden spike as a nod to the city's history of the railroad.

Additionally, after the final whistle, the player of the game is presented witha smaller golden spike as a memento.

Supporters

March to the Match

At 90 minutes to kickoff, the 17s gather together and march into Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Filled with flares, drums, and chants, the rowdy and proud make their presence known on matchday. Everyone is welcome to the march, no matter what age. As long as you’re repping ATL UTD, the 17s are your family.

Chants/Songs

I'm not exactly sure if these are official supporters chants, but view them here.
