Sounders FC Set Franchise Attendance Record Against Red Bulls

A crowd of 46,065 attended last night's Red Bulls-Sounders FC game at CenturyLink Field. The attendance set a Sounders record for "an MLS home game and was the highest in the league" since a crowd of 46,754 attended a Galaxy-Red Bulls game in '08 at Giants Stadium. Sounders F Roger Levesque: "The atmosphere was awesome. It was electric, and scoring four goals as a group and getting a win, hopefully we give those people a reason to come back" (SEATTLE TIMES, 6/24). The larger crowd last night was "there as part of a special ticket package that includes next month's exhibition against Manchester United" (AP, 6/24).
