Seattle Sounders game

So on Friday I had the experience to go to a Seattle Sounders game. The Seattle Sounders are the soccer team for Washington. For my birthday we watched the Seattle Sounders play Chivas U.S.A.
We made sure we got there really early because it was fan appreciation night and had lost of exciting stuff was happening. Outside the stadium they had booths with free items such as; hats, mini soccer balls, face paint, and even hair paint. We were outside the stadium for 2 hours, getting all the free gifts that were made available to fans. Once we were inside the stadium it appeared as if there was only going to be a samll crowd.  When the attendance was announced as 27,000 people, I was shocked.

We sat inside the stadium waiting for the game to start. That's when I saw one section really start to pack in with fans. A little into the game the fans in that section had huge flags, cheers, and even organized dances or waves. About 5 minutes before the game started they unfurled the Sounders flag that signified that our team had won the U.S. Open Cup this year.
Once the game started it looked like the Sounders were playing better than the Chivas. We observed correctly because the Sounders go up to a quick one to nothing lead. The fun thing about this game was that if the Sounders scored three goals then everyone would get a free haircut (if they wanted it.)
The game went by pretty fast and the Sounders won the last regular season game 2-1. I had a great time and can't wait for the play-offs.
