Atlanta Silverbacks Park is a soccer complex near Atlanta. It was the home venue of the Atlanta Silverbacks club, which included the Silverbacks North American Soccer League team and the Atlanta Silverbacks Women of the W-League; it is also the home of the Atlanta Renegades of USA Rugby and the Atlanta Rhinos of USA Rugby League. The park includes a 5,000-seat soccer-specific stadium, which opened in 2006 and is designed for future expansion.
The venue was the site of Soccer Bowl 2013.
The complex was planned and constructed by the owners of the Atlanta Silverbacks soccer club as a home for their various affiliated teams. It was designed to be built in several phases; the first phase commenced in 2004 with the creation of a grass field and two artificial turf fields. In 2006 the 5,000-seat soccer-specific stadium, originally known as the RE/MAX Greater Atlanta Stadium, was built over the grass pitch to serve as the home field for the Silverbacks men's upper-division team and the Atlanta Silverbacks Women.
In 2007, Reggie Bush and David Beckham filmed a commercial for Adidas at the park in which they try to teach each other to play soccer and American football, respectively. Construction continued in 2011 as the fourth international soccer-sized practice field, called "Renegade Field", was opened. The Silverbacks hosted the North American Soccer League Soccer Bowl 2013 on November 9, 2013, drawing 7,211 fans to the match.
