- dwighttk 8y agoYes. Lost the NHL and gained the MLS
- InitialLastName 8y agoI'm not deeply familiar with the history, but I assume that the stadium was mostly built to support the Falcons? What are their attendance numbers? Also, per the same article, the stadium's nominal capacity for soccer is 41K, so average attendance of 53k is pretty damn good.
