The Sounders FC Alliance and front-office representatives of their soccer club met for their annual business meeting on Tuesday.
The Alliance was established in 2008 and is recognized as the first of its kind among U.S. professional sports. Sounders season-ticket holders are automatic members – putting enrollment around 30,000. The supporters participate in business meetings while members of the council have a hand in details like designing the team’s uniforms and campaigning for better food options at CenturyLink Field.
In past years, the annual meetings were in-person affairs at the Paramount Theater, CenturyLink or the team’s headquarters in Pioneer Square.
