History

At the time the group was declared, Atlanta was the biggest metropolitan region without an MLS franchise. Atlanta Falcons proprietor Arthur Blank’s AMB Sports and Entertainment Group had submitted an offer for an extension establishment in 2008 but pulled back the offered in early 2009 due to state and nearby government budget setbacks and Blank’s failure to discover accomplices to construct a suitable stadium for the proposed team. On July 10, 2010, Dan Courtemanche, MLS’s official vice president of communications, said that in spite of the offered withdrawal, standard talks with Clear with respect to Atlanta’s potential as a development showcase were happening.

On May 31, 2011, the NHL’s Atlanta Thrashers were sold to True North Sports & Entertainment, who declared that they would migrate the group to Winnipeg and rebrand as the Winnipeg Jets. The Thrashers’ migration made a difference restart the endeavours and talks of bringing an MLS extension group to Atlanta.
