"We really want to showcase what we do here in the Northwest for the Sounders. Just watching the ticket sales go as quickly as they did just shows how much the city’s really been waiting for this opportunity," said Keller.

Sounders FC VP of Soccer and Sporting Director Chris Henderson adds, "To be able to have the MLS cup in front of the fans and have them take part and be a part of what we’ve done as a club over generations, you know, I think its a great chance for our club to showcase who we are and hopefully the result works for us on Sunday."
