Seattle Sounders

The Seattle Sounders opened their inagural season Thursday, March 19 and Matt and I were there with our scarves on!! What a great night it was. The weather was absolutely perfect (good because where our season tickets are, we will surely be rained on - ugh), the company was great (Matt's oldest brother, wife and three kids have seats right in front of us, Matt's youngest brother and his dad are also splitting a ticket) and the Sounders won.
It was so exciting to see how many people in the area love and appreciate soccer the way Matt's family does and it was so fun to watch the excitement on Matt and his brother's faces when the game started, goals were scored and the crowd was chanting. It must have been like a dream come true for them. Something they have been waiting for all their life. To have a team with so much support and to have amazing players all in our home state - what an exciting time.
So, our summer and fall months will be spent attending Sounders games, enjoying the game and enjoying time with the family that we don't see often enough. I'm so happy that we got season tickets - and what great seats we have!!
