I would be willing to say Nashville is more obsessed with the Titans and SEC football than Atlanta is with the Falcons.

Atlanta is bigger and has a giant Latin-American population. As long as they don't go full Chivas and take advantage of all soccer fans in the area (including the suburban families and the young metro adults), I firmly believe MLS would work in Atlanta...and I'm not just saying that because I'm an Atlanta guy originally.

Atlanta is a pretty half arse sports town. I don't know how they'd do with soccer.

Perhaps, but Nashville has gotten behind the Predators the last few years. A lot of enthusiasm for sports and it would be a regional MLS team more than Atlanta's.

Well Atlanta also has the Braves, Hawks, NASCAR, Ga Tech and UGA fans, various college football fans (Alabama, etc)... Nashville is moreso all Titans, Preds, and UT sports.

I still think Nashville is the more progressive city, and usually progressive = good American soccer town. Atlanta's latino population is something I've never considered tho.
