Was just talking to a former Dream player about this. Atlanna needs viewing parties and spots for folk who can’t make it inside Gateway.

Is it enough room at Gateway Center to tailgate outside? Maybe we can bring the billboard trucks out and stream the game outside the arena for everyone that can't get in.

If you've partied with Atlanta United, vibes were likely compliments of DJ EU. EU is here providing the soundtrack and bops for the event. "I can't wait for the World to be a part of culture in Atlanta," he tells me.

I fell in love with journalism reading the sports section of the @ajc with my late father. Any time I get to pick up the pen and write a sports story is a blessing. Just wish Pop was here to read this one. uatl.com/entertainment/2025/…

Are the Dream Atlanta’s best sports franchise? They could be.

The Atlanta Dream is more that just a professional sports team -- it is a part of the city that supports it and a part of the city's culture and community.

Y'all know I pretty much just resurface on here to talk about the Black mecca series. Our latest piece comes from one my favorite reporters, @mjdonastorg. The story also has one of my favorite photos of the entire series. You'll know it when you see it. uatl.com/news/2025/09/atlant…

Atlanta built a mecca for Black businesses, but inequality persists

Atlanta has a seeming abundance of Black millionaires and Black-owned storefronts, but researchers say individual successes can’t on their own overcome the deep inequality.
