REMEMBER ALL THE COMMOTION at Qwest last spring? All the chanting and neon green clothing and people who insisted on wearing scarves despite the warm weather? And then remember asking someone what it was all about, finding that Seattle had a fancy new Major League Soccer team, and feeling left out? We feel you. But now, as the Sounders FC prepares to kick off its second season on March 25, is the perfect time to review what you missed and what you need to know to join the party. (And it is a party.) We promise not to call you a bandwagon jumper.

Great job on the article. For once, it feels like someone actually gets what we’re about. You described the supporter culture perfectly. Only thing you left out was the difference between fans and supporters.
Anyone can call themself a fan, only a few can call themselves supporters.
Great article! @Lukasz, they just substituted “Hardcore Fan” for supporter but meant essentially the same thing. Also, they forgot to mention the South Sound Supporters & Doyle’s Public House. Sounders til I die. :D
march 11th, at qwest, the hated portland timbers are in town for a preseason match! tickets are only 10 bucks. a perfect chance for those curious about the sounders to check them out. so be there and be LOUD and send those pissy little meth-heads from portscum back down i-5 south with their tails between their legs!!!!!!!!!
For the North Enders there is the All Nations Soccer Bar 130th & Aurora.
Bets place to catch the games is on the big screens at SPORT Restaurant & Bar at 4th Avenue No. (by Seattle Center). Great food & drinks and devoted fans…
