Fan supporters march outside - Atlanta United - Mercedes-Benz Stadium

They've done it again.


For the second time this season MLS expansion side Atlanta United registered the fourth largest soccer attendance in the world. 


By now it's common knowledge that a new MLS record was set in Week 28 when 70,425 fans packed Atlanta United's Mercedes-Benz Stadium to establish a new MLS single-game attendance mark. And that crowd was only topped by crowds at Manchester United's Old Trafford, Borussia Dortmund's Signal Iduna Park and Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena.


Back in March, Atlanta's Week 1 attendance of 55,927 at Bobby Dodd Stadium also ranked fourth in the world behind FC Barcelona, Manchester United Borussia Dortmund home games.
