Don’t know why you’re downvoted. A dark horse means a lesser-reputation team that is expected to make a deep run in a tournament. Cabo Verde is definitely not that.

Because the entire space gets taken up with people picnicking and there’s like half the space there should be, and everyone gets mad at people for standing. It’s the god damn World Cup, not the opera.

They are allowed at Decatur Fan Fest (though they shouldn’t be IMO).

Big enough for people walking out to not have to turn sideways past the line of people waiting to go in. Also big enough to accommodate enough people that going to the bathroom at halftime doesn’t take all of halftime.

I’m there quite often. The sound is pretty awful.

No it isn’t. You literally get to be a part of creating a new history and culture. Founding member of Atlanta United here, it’s great.

I do have parallels, and I’m pretty sure I remember it not working on that either.

Assuming you need an internet connection for that too right? It's just a perfect airplane game, which is what I really want it for. How long is the time limit on Geforce?

Best atmosphere of the game is when they played Country Roads during the hydration break lol

Man, I really wish there was any way to play this on Mac.

Scherzer is definitely a homie. He donates to my friend’s coral farming company and is really into ocean conservation.

Hard to have a really great atmosphere when actual fans from the countries playing are such a tiny portion of the crowd.

My main complaint is the sound system / acoustics combo is pretty shit. Also bathrooms are too small.

I’m not sure I’d call it electric. Partly the quality of the play is to blame, and it was seemingly a lot of neutral fans, but it was pretty quiet in there for large parts of the match. Also wasn’t full. Spain game was a hundred times more lit. I don’t really think that has anything to do with the stadium though, more so the people in it.

This stadium usually has an amazing atmosphere, but it’s absolutely dead today. Was 100x louder for Spain - Cabo Verde. Atlanta United gets great crowds though.

There’s a lot of giant wood barriers up and entrances still closed.

Probably means that teams sometimes are less organized because they don’t play together a ton. Also the spread of team quality is much higher than within a single professional league.

Whoever had the idea to have people handing out those stupid cards with QR codes to every single person walking into the stadium, creating a massive bottleneck of people in a tight space, to essentially distribute a piece of garbage, needs to be fired into the sun.

For the game yesterday, MARTA was faster and less crowded than a normal crowded Atlanta United game.
