    I think the "capacity" numbers are a little misleading. Seattle's capacity is north of 65,000, not 38,500. The fact that they can only sell out when Portland comes to town is an indictment of their marketing.

    To give you a sense of Seattle's impact, average league attendance would be 1200 per game lower if the Flounders were not in MLS. Average attendance would drop to 2010 levels.

      To Anonymous, you are close about the Sounders "stadium capacity", a FULL stadium is 67,300+. The fact that the Sounders capacity is listed as 38,500 is a concious decision on the teams part to only sell tickets to most games using the first two levels. When adding the third and largest level, you get the full capacity. Just recently have they started to sell some of the lower rows of seats in the third level as well. Make for better stadium services and vending planning. They also have a special package for their "Rivalry" games where they are opeing up the full sitting area. Result 67,385 sell-out for the Portland Timber. A rather smart business plan don't you think

      So it's a smart business plan to purposefully sell fewer tickets than you could?
