The 1970 season was the Atlanta Chiefs' 3rd season in the North American Soccer League. This season saw the team end in second place within the Southern Division as their season lasted from March 26 to August 29.
Overview Due to financial costs of playing at the Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium, the Chiefs chose to play in nearby Tara Stadium. They also received a new club manager through Welsh manager Vic Rouse as he had agreed to become a player-manager for the club beginning in this season. The relocation in Tara would ultimately prove to be an unpopular decision as they returned to Atlanta–Fulton by the following 1971 season.
