I had the pleasure of attending an Atlanta United tailgate with friends of friends. I don't think I really appreciated just how big the Backyard is! I mean the space is huge! It was more than plenty to fit all of the people's trucks, SUVs, tents, and grills galore.
The vibe was great with a DJ playing music "overhead", games like corn hole and Connect Four, and there was even a Home Depot mascot (I think he was a bucket? lol) walking around and interacting with the crowd. There were also bathrooms in the Pavilion closer to the West Lawn area that were available for tailgaters to use. It was definitely a fun atmosphere that had everyone having a good time and getting amped up with excitement in preparation for the game.
Throughout the year there are also various events held in the Backyard such as family and music events, night markets, exercise events, and of course Falcons tailgating. I would certainly go back for a pregame tailgate but I'm not exactly sure how the access to the property and acquiring your "designated" space to set up works since I was invited as a guest to attend. read more
