Seattle is getting a new Major League Soccer team, Seattle Sounders FC and there has been a huge response to the team locally. Sounders FC already has more season ticket holders than any other MLS team. I really wanted to go to their home opener, but tickets have sold out even though seating capacity for the game has been expanded twice, up to 32,400.
I'm not a huge soccer fan, but I've become a casual fan since several of my friends are big fans and I went to a university with a great soccer program. I thought it'd be cool to get to go to the first-ever game, and I really wanted to go, so it was surprising and disappointing to find out about the sell out.
Fortunately, this game should be on TV, so I'm planning to watch it, and have already purchased tickets for the next home game on March 28. With such a large fan base, it should be a lot of fun.
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.

I also look forward to seeing the Sounders when they visit Dallas. I hope you enjoy the games and I wish Seattle well - just not as well as Dallas.
Check www.stubhub.com for tickets, or maybe even Ebay...if you're still wanting to go to the sold-out game.
Yeah, we checked Stubhub and the tickets are like over $60 a person. A little more than I wanted to spend for one soccer game!
Google 'Seattle Sounder History' for the history of Pro Soccer in Seattle - it all started in 1974...
