Why the Seattle Sounders FC Will Continue To Be the Hottest Ticket in Town

The Seattle Sounders FC are set to once again be the hottest ticket in Seattle this summer. The Sounders announced earlier this week that the home opener on March 25 against first—year side, the Philadelphia Union, has been sold out. Additonally, the Sounders May 8th game against the Los Angeles Galaxy is sold out as well. With a capacity of 35800 set for MLS games and with 32,000 season tickets already sold, the Sounders have a very good chance of selling out every home game this season. While the Sounders have the best fans in MLS, the question is whether the second year Sounders can be as successful on the park as they are off it?

I am really motivated. It is a big challenge because as a player and as a man, I wish to settle and live in Seattle. For now, I remain totally committed, totally focused on Twente, and doing whatever I can to help them win the league and the cup. When I arrive in Seattle, I’m not just coming to play, I’m coming to succeed. That is my goal. I feel I can contribute because of my experience, my spirit, my commitment and my goals. Of course, that’s the key, goals and assists. I’ve contributed that before and wish to do the same for the Sounders.

There is no collective bargaining agreement in place and negotiations are at a standstill, but Seattle’s players and coaches said the team’s preparation for the regular season is unbothered. “It really hasn’t been a distraction at training at all,” said coach Sigi Schmid at the Starfire Sports Complex. “I think the guys have been good about being focused. And we haven’t really talked about it as a staff as we go into training. So it really hasn’t been an emphasis for us.
