RENTON — As stable as the Seattle Sounders front office has been on the sporting side during their first 14 seasons in MLS, the leadership on their business side has seen even less turnover. Hugh Weber was officially introduced to press on Thursday, officially taking over as the Sounders’ third-ever head of business operations heading into their 15th MLS season.
Weber brings with him a resume that frankly makes him appear almost overqualified. Weber has served as president of NBA and NHL teams, and even run Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, which controlled a host of other teams and properties.
