This is it, folks. One more game. At home. For all of the marbles. Hold onto your butts.
The occasion on Saturday is of course, huge. Providence Park will play host to the league’s marquee event and the Portland Timbers will have the chance to lift the MLS Cup at home for the first time in their history. The stadium is sure to be full and rocking, and the day will undoubtedly feel like the massive event that it is.
Portland’s opponent is New York City FC, who are making their first appearance in a cup final of any sort, in their seventh season of existence.
