This link is accurate for pre match activities and "march to the match".

Arrive 60-90 minutes before start time if you want to get seats at any of the bars on Occidental which get packed early.

The Elysian is kitty corner from the CLink and a nice spot to take it all in with a wide beer selection. You can watch/hear Soundwave, the Sousa band supporter group, peform as well as watch ECS march in on Occidental right from your table.

As for tix, you'll have to probably get them on the secondary market, but it's worth it to sit (stand) in the lower bowl closer to the supporter sections on the south end.

If that isn't possible, they're opening up the full stadium for that match so sections 309 to 312ish are in the middle beyond the dripline so it is comfortable and dry yet very close to the action.

Sounders use NFL security measures so it can be a slow go through the metal detectors and pat downs. I use the north east entrance by King Street train station which is less busy. Also the north side of the CLink has a lot of family/kid related activies before game time if that is your thing.

Welcome and enjoy the Age of Demsey
