Qwest Field
Scarves up Seattle.
We have a new game in town that draws sell out crowds, comes with its own
marching band, and showers the supporters in confetti. No, it isn't drag queen
softball. I'm talking about soccer and the Sounders, our new MLS team. The unbelievable
atmosphere created by the fans and the fast paced nature of the game is what
sets the Sounders apart from the snoozefest of Seattle's other pro sports teams.
We've caught footie fever in a big way and you can't go anywhere without seeing
Sounders flags, posters, t-shirts, or scarves. Many ladies of my acquaintance
have caught Freddie fever. Freddie Ljungberg that is, the former Arsenal player
and star of the team. With 22,000 season ticket holders and four months of sold
out home games, you better plan way ahead if you want to get a piece of this
action.
