TUKWILA — MLS Cup tickets went on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday.
By 11 a.m. there were more despondent fans and horror stories about trying to purchase a seat — any seat — online than what seemed available at CenturyLink Field for the league’s championship match between the Sounders FC and Toronto FC.
By 1 p.m., Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer jogged to a crowd of media at his team’s Starfire Sports training facility to share news he always knew was possible — his home state of Washington did its part to sell out “The CLink” for a soccer match.
