THe TAILGATES

The Atlanta United have 14 weekend home games in the 2019 season. Our tailgates start five (5) hours before official kickoff and we head to the stadium about 15 minutes before kickoff time. We shut the grill off 45-60 minutes before kickoff, but food and drinks are still available up until we leave for the game. 

We are located in the Gulch parking lot (Lot A) across from State Farm Arena. It is a quick 5-10 minute walk to Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The price of parking at the Gulch varies upon the event, but you do not have to park in the lot to participate in the tailgate. Finding alternative parking and walking to the Gulch is allowed.

We are family-friendly and kids are always FREE. Bring everyone out to enjoy a great game day experience!

  • ​​Sunday, 7/21 vs. DC United at 11 am

WE PARTNERING WITH #MADDOXSTRONG AGAIN:

MADDOX STRONG is a fundraiser for one of the long time members of Esperanza Atlanta and a great friend of the Esperanza Supporters Club. Last week we raised over $1,000 for Maddox at the tailgate. Let's see if we can top that this weekend.

On Saturday, November 3, our friend Eric Kelly received a phone call from his brother Nick. Nick proceeded to tell Eric that his curly headed monster of a nephew, that solid little ball of energy, Maddox, had been just been diagnosed with leukemia at 4 years of age. 

Maddox has since been undergoing treatment at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Cancer never takes a day off and that’s why Eric and his family immediately created the “Maddox Strong” team as part of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training program. We are going to help them raise funds so that a cure for this disease can be found. We will raise funds by running in the AJC Peachtree Road Race on July 4, 2019. We will do so in honor of Maddox, his family, and his doctors and nurses. Here is how you can help.
  1. Buy a ticket to the Esperanza Supporters Club Tailgate with a preset $10 and $20 donation or you can just buy your ticket and then add in a Donation of any amount. 
  2. We will sell the Reformation x Esperanza Koozies for $5 and we will donate 100% of the proceeds to Maddox Strong. 
  3. We will have a raffle at the Tailgate for a prize that will be announced at the Tailgate. 
  4. Donate Directly to the Maddox Strong team:

Finally, pray for Maddox, his family, and his doctors and nurses.

Your donation will help fund treatments that save lives every day; like immunotherapies that use a person’s own immune system to kill cancer. You may not know it, but every single donation helps save a life with breakthrough therapies such as these. 

Thank you!
