The Timbers are back! It’s been about two weeks since we last saw the lads in green and gold, and Rose City has sorely missed them. That makes it that much more exciting that capacity at Providence Park has been increased to 80% starting this weekend. What better time to bring fans back en masse to Providence Park than after a long break.
The last time the Timbers played, they were about as beaten up as a team can be. Even though their final three matches weren’t two bad — you won’t hear too many people complain about six points in three matches — the final match before the break was a less-than-spectacular 3-0 blowout loss to the Philadelphia Union.
