If the Timbers Army Wanted to send a message about what kind of numbers they could bring to Seattle for Cascadia Cup matches, they certainly seem to be doing it. An hour before the match, their section of 500 seats in the northeast corner of the stadium are jammed packed. Just for good measure, they also hung a "Kings of Cascadia" banner that seems aimed directly at their Seattle Sounders counterparts, Emerald City Supporters.
Seattle Sounders Vs. Portland Timbers: Cascadia Cup Off To Rocking Start
A half-hour before the match, the two supporters groups are in full voice, chanting and screaming in a light drizzle that is falling down over Qwest Field. ECS, for their part, has two of their three sections in the south endzone full about a half-hour before game time.
Prior to the game, ECS led their March to Match which featured flares and smoke bombs, as well as a full chorus of chanting and singing. Although it is a tradition that started in 2009, this one seemed to carry a little more importance than normal.
