Atlanta is a pretty half arse sports town.

I agree. Only care if you're winning, basically.

I don't know how they'd do with soccer.

They do well by NASL standards for the Silverbacks. The potential for it to work is there with the popularity of the youth game in the city and the Hispanic population. Blank wants it for the new metallic spiky rectum stadium they're building for the Falcons.

There's enough positive in my eyes to outweigh the negative of Atlanta being an apathetic sports city.

Yea but thats any big city for the most part.

Miami i think is a good location if they have a quality product.. granted i am biased

The city supports all kinds of international friendlies and summer tour events.

I think because the quality of the product is much better than previously that the chances of success/ larger crowds will be improved greatly

One potential problem is that that new stadium is going to be a good bit farther away from those populations than Silverbacks Park is.
