BRIDGEVIEW -- When Dax McCarty arrived in Chicago prior to the season, he talked about changing what seemed like a “culture of losing” that had grown within the once-successful club.
On Saturday night, McCarty and the Fire handed the defending MLS Cup champion Seattle Sounders a 4-1 loss in front of a crowd of 20,153, the club’s first sellout at Toyota Park since Sept. 19, 2015.
“These are big games for the club,” McCarty said. “National television, sellout crowd, bright lights, night game, these are games that players should dream of and these are games that you should thrive in.
