Site things and notes

Obviously, this site has been updated very infrequently. Our excuse is that it's hard to write a blog for a team that won't exist for like 15 months. But someone's gotta do it. (What? You say that's not true? Well, we say 'shut up.' Heh.)

So here's the deal. We promise to post at LEAST twice weekly* from now until the team name and colors are announced... at which point this site will undergo a DAZZLING new upgrade and become seriously awesome. Our goal is to be the first** - and best - blog/website/internet thingy dedicated solely to whatever the hell our Seattle MLS team is going to be called. Whatever it is, the team will likewise be seriously awesome. Dazzling, even.

We promise interviews. We promise analysis. We promise whatever else you can think of. (Seriously - want us to write about something? Email us to let us know.) This is a slow period, but it only gets better from here, and we promise to take you through it. Get ready, future Seattle MLS fans. It's gonna be awesome.



*Unless we forget or something.
**Turns out we're already the first. So, we win! YES!
***Honestly, we feel sorry for you Alaskans. Consider yourselves cordially invited aboard the good ship USS MLS Seattle.

Sounders 2008 home games to be played in Siberia

Tukwila, Siberia, same thing. If you want to see local pro soccer next year, be prepared to drive.

The Seattle Tukwila Sounders will play their home games at 2,000 seat Starfire Sports Complex.

The team played some home games there last year, including the USL final where they stomped Atlanta, 4-0. It's a cool place and all, but... seriously, it's tiny, and it's going to limit the amount of people who will catch a game next season. Imagine the Mariners moving to Everett
Memorial Stadium.

The only way this makes sense is to make people forget about the Sounders, so when the MLS team rolls into town in 2009, those people will be like "OMG we have soccer now!" But even that doesn't really make sense. Hey, we tried.

For those hardcore enough to still want tickets, or the lucky few living in that area, season tickets will be on sale November 27 November 30 sometime before the season begins, and should be a bargain at less than $200.

We'll be waiting for a friendly match of some sort to come to Qwest, thanks.
