Congratulations to our October 21st Axe Society Members of the Match – Nicholas and Katie Smits!

As part of our inaugural group of ticket holders, Nicholas and Katie won the chance to have a VIP experience for the Portland Timbers vs. Real Salt Lake match, including KeyBank Club seats, and a chance to visit with Timber Joey on the field!

We asked Nicholas a few questions after the match.

What was your first memory of/first match supporting the Timbers?
"I moved here in 2004. I remember my first time walking into Providence Park (then PGE Park) and feeling the stadium’s history seeming from the bench seats. I remember Byron Alvarez lighting up the scoreboard, Timber Jim climbing the spar pole, and the energy of the Timbers Army.
