Inside the Venue At A Glance

01

Mixed

Arrival & transportation

McKalla Station makes rail the most direct approach, though trains fill quickly after popular matches. A brief delay or advance knowledge of the next departure can reduce the platform squeeze.

02

Mixed

Seat & section strategy

The supporters' section is safe-standing and consistently active. Other sides provide assigned seats, with shade and sun angle becoming especially important during warm-weather kickoffs.

03

Positive

Event-day character

The active north-end standing section can make this compact stadium one of MLS's louder rooms.
