Atlanta United City Guide

Atlanta United trains at the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Training Ground on Franklin Gateway in Marietta, just off I-75 inside the Cumberland/Vinings/Smyrna corridor of Cobb County. Everything below is anchored to that 33-acre campus, not Mercedes-Benz Stadium downtown. The sweet spot for a player is the Vinings and Cumberland pocket: gated luxury homes, The Battery Atlanta's dining and recovery options, and a short, traffic-light commute to the pitch.
