I'm not a huge soccer fan but l I do enjoy it occasionally and will watch it on TV, like during the World Cup. Portland has a few sports teams but after being underwhelmed by the Blazers, I haven't really had any interest in becoming a fan until now. Although MLS soccer is fairly new to Portland, it has a pretty huge following. I had heard about how awesome the atmosphere is at Jeld-Wen Field, with the Timbers Army section getting rowdy, and have wanted to see it for myself. My workplace has season tickets in the KeyClub area, and when the ladies in the office found out David Beckham and the LA Galaxt were coming to town, we snatched those tickets right up!
Game day--it's crazy for blocks and blocks around the stadium and everywhere you looked there were dozens of Timbers fans! The stadium was packed and the Timbers Army (the fan section that stands and cheers the entire game) was so energetic. It reminded me if being in the student section at Duke for basketball games.

And if course, the girls and I were super excited to have seats so close to the field... and David Beckham.
My fiance was not as impressed by him as the ladies were ;)
Although the Timbers lost 5-3, we still had a great time. I definitely want to see what it's like being in the Timbers Army section. Those guys are crazy!!
Do you have a favorite local sports team?
