You’ll pardon Adrian Hanauer if he’s allowing himself to enjoy this moment, if just for a little bit. The Seattle Sounders majority owner was born here, raised here, attended the University of Washington and has spent the majority of his adult life running this team.

Although the waiting list is now apparently 10,000 names long for MLS Cup tickets, Hanauer admits that he was among those not quite sure what to expect when they went on sale.
