After attending a Whitecaps FC youth conditioning camp last month we traveled south to Seattle to attend a Sounders FC-Chicago Fire game. We could not have asked for a better, first-ever MLS match! More than 36,000 fans rocked Qwest field on a beautiful summer evening in the Emerald City including one Drew Carey, Price is Right host and team owner, who made an appearance at the half. The game also marked the return of Freddie Ljundberg who left Seattle on not-the-happiest-of-terms. A mix of cheers but mostly boos from the crowd made for some fun. The place erupted when Seattle won it in extra time, 2-1, off the head of Fredy Montero, his second of the match.
Our seats were very close to the confetti cannon as you can see in the pics. Keep your hand over your drink!
Anyone who thinks soccer might be fun to play but dull to watch should pass through the turnstiles at Qwest Field. Seattle fans are among the league’s best and made for a great atmosphere. I expect nothing different in Vancouver next season and what a great rivalry this will be!
