    Decibels got past 127 here at Sanford Stadium. Military jet aircraft take-off from aircraft carrier with afterburner at 50 ft is 130 db.

    I covered 2 Copa America matches, both at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. For the first, Conmebol ignored most host suggestions. It was an awful experience. I’ve been to Field Days that were better organized. They listened for the second. It went well.

    So, #atlutd has won more trophies in 9 months than the combined haul of every other atlanta pro sports team in their histories in the city. #mls

    This will probably be engraved on his statue, from Josef Martinez: “Playing in this stadium is a dream. Every time I drive here, I get goosebumps. For me, playing here is the best thing that’s happened to me. I have to thank the fans. I love the people here.

    #ATLUTD didn't have to stop playing. You can argue the sportsmanship if you'd like but the rules are clear.

    Josef says Barco is like his son, and I reminded him that he once said he is Orlando's daddy. So I asked him if Barco and Orlando are brothers. He said we had to ask Brad Guzan because he's the mom. #ATLUTD #MLS

    Hearing that Parkhurst is going to re-sign with #atlutd. Important to keep the Captain with everything at stake this season. #mls

    Here's something weird: Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which some insist isn't a soccer stadium, is going to win an award for Best Venue (in the world) from the World Football Summit next week. Hmm. How is that possible?

    Martinez: First time I come here, I say this is my club, this is my city. I love it here. I want to retire here. I love this club. #ATLUTD #MLS

    “I think this is the version of Pity that you want to see,” Pity Martinez said. “A Pity who is feeling confident, comfortable.” #ATLUTD #MLS
