The news is now official, and it’s been the worst kept secret on the Atlanta soccer scene for about the last six months.

The Atlanta Beat has announced that it will play its home games at the new soccer complex being built at Kennesaw State University.

Beat owner T. Fitz Johnson proclaims the 8,300-seat facility will be the first women’s soccer-specific stadium in the world.
