Atlanta United had 4th Largest Soccer Crowd in the World

This past weekend, Atlanta United drew the 4th largest soccer crowd in the world. The match, which took place on Sunday, drew a crowd of 55,297 which topped the games at Anfield in Liverpool and three of the top four in Germany. Below is a list of games this weekend and their attendances:

ATT. MATCH (COUNTRY)

1. 79,100 Borussia Dortmund-Bayer Leverkusen (Germany)

2. 77,117 Barcelona-Celta Vigo (Spain)

3. 75,245 Manchester United-Bournemouth (England)

4. 55,297 Atlanta United-NY Red Bulls (MLS)

5. 54,014 Borussia Moenchengladbach-Schalke 04 (Germany)

6. 53,146 Liverpool-Arsenal (England)

7. 51,500 Eintracht Frankfurt-Freiburg (Germany)

8. 50,000 FC Cologne-Bayern Munich (Germany)

The video above is the first goal in the club's history, and will surely be remembered as a monumental moment in the history of Atlanta's newest craze. The game, which ended in a 2-1 defeat, created optimism and a hope for the future by combining a ridiculous home crowd and some ahead-of-schedule great play. The young and dynamic midfield was able to overrun New York for most of the game, but couldn't keep BWP and co. off the board.
