PORTLAND, Ore. – When the Portland Timbers take the field at Providence Park against Real Salt Lake on September 10 (7:30pm PT, ROOT SPORTS), the team and its fans can celebrate an accomplishment that few other MLS franchises have ever achieved: 100 consecutive regular-season sellouts.
According to the longest-tenured members of the Timbers, the enthusiasm and passion from the stands has been there from the very beginning. All of the pent-up excitement surrounding the team's entry into Major League Soccer poured out of the stands during the team's home opener against the Chicago Fire in 2011, a 4-2 Timbers victory.
