Atlanta is ready to welcome home the U.S. men’s national team. As fans from across the country arrive for the matches this March, American Outlaws — the largest unofficial supporters’ group of U.S. Soccer — will host pregame tailgates to bring supporters together ahead of both matches. The tailgates will be on Saturday, March 28, 11 a.m. – 2:30 p.m., and Tuesday, March 31, 2–6 p.m.
“Atlanta has been one of the loudest soccer cities in the country for years, and we’re proud to be the new home of U.S. Soccer,” said Bart Keeler, president of AO Atlanta. “American Outlaw members from across the country will come here to tailgate, sing, and energize the stadium for both matches this month.”
Fans will find music, games, and more fan culture at the tailgates. AO will bring the noise into Mercedes-Benz Stadium on the march from the tailgate, departing one hour before each match. The AO tailgates are open to attendees of all ages; admission is free, but food and beverage tickets are $10 plus tax. Parking is not provided.
