Riding the MAX home from work today, I saw a huge crown outside the "Jeld-Wen" (whatever, it will forever be known as PGE Park) stadium. People were lining up for the home debut of the Portland Timbers, our brand spankin new Major League Soccer team. So awesome! We all know Portland has the best fans, partly due to the fact that thus far we only had one Major League team (the Blazers) to cheer for. But, no doubt, we love our teams with interminable passion and there's room in our hearts for both sports. You won't find a better crowd in the US.
Yahoo Sports: Look for a scene to make other teams green with envy. The game against New England saw attendance at 7,114. Portland will play the home opener in front of almost 20,000 of the best fans in soccer. The game is sold out, so fans without tickets will have to gather at their favorite pub or watch from home.
And guess what? We won tonight! Portland Timbers v. Chicago Fire 4-2. There's history in the making here.
