I grew up playing football (American) in high school and hating soccer. Later, at age 19, I served a mission in Paraguay for my church and I saw first hand what soccer means to the rest of the world. When I came home, I enjoyed the World Cup (mostly rooting for Paraguay) every 4 years. When MLS expanded into Seattle, my wife was expecting a boy, so it made sense to grab some season tickets early (planning for future father/son bonding experiences). I've never regretted that decision. Over the first 3 seasons in addition to taking my family to many games, I've taken 33 different friends to games and 3 of them have become season ticket holders themselves. I love everything about the Sounders especially that I've been a part of it since the beginning, well 2009 that is (some argue the beginning was in 1974).
