Everything You Need to Know About the ATL UTD Credit Event
Atlanta United FC arrived in MLS in 2017 and immediately rewrote the expectations for soccer in the American South. The club set MLS attendance records in its inaugural season, drew massive crowds to Bobby Dodd Stadium before moving full-time to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and captured the MLS Cup in 2018 — becoming one of the fastest expansion franchises in league history to win a championship.
The club's identity is rooted in the city itself. The black-and-gold crest, the Five Stripes, and the roar of Sections 108 and 109 are woven into Atlanta's sporting culture in a way that few franchises achieve in under a decade. Special events like the ATL UTD Credit Event are extensions of that culture — moments where the club and its supporters connect beyond the regular matchday calendar.
For fans attending the 2026 ATL UTD Credit Event in Atlanta, this is an opportunity to experience the full scope of what Mercedes-Benz Stadium and Atlanta United FC have built together: a world-class venue, a devoted fanbase, and a city that shows up in force for its clubs.
Plan Your Night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Mercedes-Benz Stadium sits on the western edge of Downtown Atlanta at 1 AMB Drive NW, Atlanta, GA 30313, placing it squarely in one of the most connected areas of the city for both transit riders and drivers.
Getting there by MARTA is the smartest move on a December night. Two stations serve the stadium directly:
- Vine City Station (Green/Blue Line): The closest MARTA stop to Mercedes-Benz Stadium — a short walk to the venue entrance.
- CNN Center Station (Red/Gold/Green/Blue Lines): A slightly longer walk through the Downtown connector, but accessible from all four MARTA rail lines, making it the most convenient option for fans coming from Buckhead, Midtown, the airport, or Decatur.
If you are driving, the stadium is surrounded by surface lots and structured parking garages. Pre-purchasing parking through the team's official channels or third-party platforms is strongly recommended for a late-December event, when downtown traffic and holiday activity can compress arrival windows significantly.
Arrive early to take full advantage of the stadium's Fan Plaza and the surrounding Westside entertainment district. The area around the stadium has grown substantially since the venue opened in 2017, with food, bars, and gathering spots that make the pre-event experience a destination in its own right. Dress for the weather — late December in Atlanta typically brings cool to cold evenings, so layers are the right call for an outdoor gathering or stadium entry lines.
Inside the Benz, the $8 Fan-First pricing menu remains one of the best deals in professional sports, covering a wide selection of concessions at a fixed price point. The stadium's retractable roof and translucent panels also make it one of the most weather-adaptable large venues in the country.
