While I'm having a hard time tracking down the folder with the majority of my game pictures, here is a quick glimpse into what I've experienced thus far as a season ticket holder for the newest professional team in Seattle. Outside of the $7 I spent in 7th grade to order the "Sky Jump" workout regimen from a Sporting News advertisement (And no, those programs don't actually increase your vertical by 12 inches in 12 weeks), it's the best sporting investment I've ever made.
Game #1 vs. Red Bulls - The standard setter for what has come since...SCARVES UP!!!
The ECS - With apologies to Toronto, the BEST supporter group throughout MLS.
March to the Match prior to the Chelsea game. This happens in Pioneer Square 90 minutes prior to kickoff for each game, but this was the first time I attended. Put a band & fans that have spent the past few hours at the pub together, and you get plenty of interesting songs and chants. A good time for sure.
March to the Match - ECS en route to Qwest.
Qwest filling up prior to the Chelsea game. The atmosphere was absolutely electric. While the hometown crew didn't put out the dub, they created numerous scoring chances and more than held their own for 90 minutes. Some big league and US Open Cup matches are coming up, so if you can GET a ticket, come experience the void that been filled and then some by the Sonics' departure. Surely a team and organization to get behind and support.
