TUKWILA, Wash — The Seattle Sounders finished up the introductory phase of preseason training in front of a larger than normal crowd, as the Emerald City Supporters joined the team to observe the last training session at Starfire before they head to Southern California for the rest of the month. The supporters’ group greeted the team as they made their way to the training field with the usual accompaniment of chants and songs, and got an up close look at the session.
The Sounders took off for warmer pastures after training, heading to California for the next 10 days where they’ll continue to work on fitness, and get a closed-door friendly in as well (presumably against Uruguay’s Peñarol).
