1. Get into the Club World Cup at Mercedes-Benz Stadium


“The Benz” is an architectural icon, home to the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons and Major League Soccer’s Atlanta United FC. The multipurpose stadium hosts a variety of events and is equipped with all the bells and whistles a fan (whether sports or music) could want: massive screens, a retractable roof, an art collection and great food offerings. Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour will make a stop here in July, so come prepared with your cowboy boots and yeehaw hat. In the meantime, if soccer is your thing, catch some of Atlanta United’s games throughout May. Before that, Mercedes-Benz plays host to one of the biggest sports competitions in the world this June with four FIFA Club World Cup matches (a championship between regional clubs, as opposed to next year’s competition between national teams at the regular FIFA World Cup). Soccer fans can catch international favorites like Chelsea and Manchester City, or see the goat, Lionel Messi play when Inter Miami takes on FC Porto.
