march madness

seattle's sounders fc held their first MLS match at qwest field on thursday. to encourage fan support and community unity, they have started a ritual called "march to the match" where fans congregate in occidental park prior to the match and take the four block march to the field. i didn't have tickets to the match as it was sold out, but seattle did beat new york's red bulls 3-0. if the pre-game party is any indication of whats to come, football soccer will have a healthy stay in seattle
