I find it annoying that they add "FC" after a team name. Also that "Salt Lake Real" or whatever it is is named as it is. It seems affected and fake. Ed O.
I'm going. I was a kid during the end of the soccer city USA era... and remember some great times at the civic stadium. Time to get my kids involved in some of that action.
got a question.. never been to a Timbers game.. but I figure this is as good as time as any to go to one. How do I get near 107 What tickets do I have to buy? I looked at GA ticketson ticketmaster.. but it gave me seats and stuff too for them.. kinda confusing.
The entire North End of the stadium is general admission. So, basically anywhere along what is typically the third base line for baseball is GA for soccer. They've changed that in the past for big-time exhibition matches, but I don't foresee them making any changes for this match. This match is seriously going to be epic. Nobody should miss it. I can't wait until we're up 2-0 in the second half, with the entire north end chanting: You call this M...L...S? Over and over. Fuck the Sounders and their manufactured "atmosphere" with marching bands and fog machines. They will see what true support looks like on 7/1. -Pop
They tend to wear a lot of brand new replica shirts up there. They look like team store manikins to be honest. I just made it up
whoah that is a crazy thrown together site... could use some sticky's IMO. thanks for the start though
This should be an epic match vs Seattle. I just witnessed the Timbers spank the Minnesota Thunder 5-1 this friday evening (June 19th, 2009). It all started with a red card issued on a Thunder defender in the box for the Timbers to take a 3-1 lead with about 50 minutes into the second half. After that another red card and a yellow card followed. With the last 2 minutes in regulation the Thunder were down two players and then three players. The fourth and fifth goals for the Timbers came within two minutes of the end of the game. Insane.
