It was a busy weekend in the Dirty South...
Atlanta United President Darren Eales sat down with the Mouths of the South for a podcast that will be dropping later this morning. One nugget he revealed to Eric and Sam was that the season ticket conversion rate has been very strong.
Eales also assured us @ATLUTD would "absolutely kill" the 15K season tix numbers NYCFC had. Full interview tomorrow! https://t.co/qcVoCBxcKA
