“I had a chance to experience going to the Atlanta United games a couple years ago, and to my astonishment, the soccer crowds are lively than the football crowds,” Big Boi told PopCulture. “I’ve never seen nothing like that before. On their feet with the chants, the whole nine yards. Got a chance to sit behind the goal where they’re going to kick the ball over the goal, and into the suite, and hit your chicken fingers. It was exciting as hell.”
He continued, “I think it’s all about the fans, man. It’s all about energy, and the fans bring the thunder. So, it’s a lot kicking the ball up and down the field, but for people to be on their feet the whole time is just incredible to me. Ain’t no time for sitting down.”
