The fans were out in full force in Tukwila on Wednesday to send off the Seattle Sounders ahead of the team’s first-ever MLS Cup final. Head coach Brian Schmetzer nodded towards the fans gathered at the edge of the Starfire Sports pitch, saying that “It’s just another chapter in the book of maybe what the fans mean to the team. There are a lot of people out here and that’s great, and we appreciate it.”
The team is doing final home preparations for Saturday’s big match, but Schmetzer said that his team were enjoying themselves and itching to get to Toronto and onto the pitch at BMO Field.
