It's Sounders Soccer Season Again!

Major League Soccer must have the longest season of any professional sport in the country.

Last year we opened on March 8th, and the playoff final, for the MLS cup, was held the first week in December.

Fortunately, Tom and I were ready to go again.

Our season opener was Sunday evening, March 8th.  It was a beautiful day, sunny and 60, and the first day of Daylight Saving Time, so we marched to the match at 5:30 in plenty of daylight.
We "dined" on the upper terrace.
There was pageantry and tifo.

 The view from our new seats on the third level rail was great.
At halftime the sun was just going down.
 We got the result we wanted, a 3-o win over the New England Revolution!
 All in all, a great opener and a great evening.

    Hope you have a great season like last year.
