Sounders FC will play for the MLS Cup on their home turf for the first time in franchise history.
Seattle, the Western Conference champions, earned the right after Toronto FC upset the league’s defending champion, Atlanta United 2-1 in an Eastern Conference final Wednesday.
The Sounders (56 points) finished higher in the overall league table than the “Reds” (50 points) during regular-season play. In MLS’s inaugural single-elimination playoff bracket, the higher seeds host.
So, Rave Green fans can plan to pack CenturyLink Field on Nov. 10 to see their club play for the league championship. The matchup will also air nationally on ABC.
