Kickoff! The Plan…

At Midnight on March 19th the 493 day wait will be over. MLS will finally be IN Seattle. The full plans for opening day continue after the jump.

It’s just about here. A year and a half’s wait is almost over. In one week Sounders FC will finally kickoff for the first time in a game that counts.

A lot of people have already a full day planned around Sounders FC’s inaugural match and ECS is ready to accommodate it’s members. Fuel will be open from 11AM onwards and will be giving ECS members 10% off the entire day! Not a member yet? It’s not too late. Come out Saturday to Fuel or McCoy’s Firehouse from 3pm onwards and we’ll get you hooked up. We’ll be raffling off three tickets to Thursday’s match.

If you’re like Keef and have to work on the opening day, don’t despair. Opening day will be a full-fledged membership drive from 2:30 to 4:30 at both Fuel and McCoy’s Firehouse. Then we’ll leave Fuel and McCoy’s and head over to Occidental Park. At Occidental Park we will meet up with SoundWave and dignitaries for the inaugural march to Qwest Field. We will be entering Qwest Field from the Southwest entrance.

In case you couldn’t read the text on the image (we couldn’t either), here’s the plans:

1) Drink at Fuel (21 and over only) or McCoy’s (all-ages)
2) Meet in Occidental Park
3) March to Qwest Field through the square continuing on Occidental
4) Kick ass!

Once at the gates for Qwest ECS will wait just inside the gates for the group to get in and then march down to the GA AS A GROUP. We need to be AS A GROUP because we want to look good on our first entrance to the game.

Then the wait in the stands will begin. Until about 6pm things will be pretty relaxed. Then the ceremonies will start. Something special will happen after we’re done singing the “Star Spangled Banner.” Just what that is… Well, you’ll have to be there to see.

I hope lots can make it out to St. Paddy’s this weekend.

See you on the terraces!
