Anyone that was at the semi-final match in Vancouver played at Swangard stadium last playoffs between Milwaukee and Vancouver can rationalize it as well! What with Milwaukees 10 men defense and securities goon offence, I'm amazed more people weren't intoxicated. Of course I left the match 10 minutes into the second half when I realized there wouldn't be any self control if I stayed!

It's good to know your limits. :rolleyes:

All I know is that I had a great time in Seattle - mildly drunk, wearing red and staying silent about the Sounders, while cheering loudly for the Nats. I look forward to returning on May 2.

Cheers, Roberto. I hope to see you crazies on May Day for the first leg. But it'll probably mean taking Thu and Fri off work. At least I can get cheap beers during thirsty Thu.

If I can get one in time, I'll be sporting the new Sounders scarf with the retro logo.

As always, we welcome Ron and any other Sounders supporters to join us at the Bitter End before any of the matches. Chances are you'll end up with a free beer or two is you come.

Where are you guys going to reside at Seahawks Stadium this year? I thought the view from the north end was quite good last week. Is the Pyramid going to be your pregame meeting place?

We're going to be in section 113, down toward the player's tunnel in the SE corner

As for pregame, since FX McRory's and Sluggers are going to be posting signage for the Sounders on matchday, I think it may be worth it to repay by having our prematch stuff over there. I should stop by those places and donate a scarf as well, maybe we can then get automatic happy hour prices on our prematch beers

At any rate, we should take a vote and get that figured out. I'll send something out on the mailing list this week...

You guys have to be pretty psyched to have a new environment - especially having had to suffer through the years at Memorial. Like I said, will be fun to open things up on May 2. If you find a pub with discounted beer I'll gladly stop on by.

sounds like a good atmosphere to me!

We might have forgiven them...If we'd won!
