It all comes down to this.
On Sunday, the Seattle Sounders will take on Toronto FC in the MLS Cup final for the third time in four years. This time, it’s at CenturyLink Field, with a crowd of 69,000 expected to attend the match.
MLS Cup is the pinnacle event for the league, bringing together various activations and opportunities for supporters to immerse themselves in the festivities. Here’s a rundown of all the different activities supporters can participate in during the coming days.
PICKUP SOCCER AT YESLER PARK

Head to the RAVE Flagship Field at Yesler Terrace Park from 10:00 am to 12:00 p.m. PT on Saturday and catch a pickup soccer game hosted by former USMNT and MLS stalwart Jimmy Conrad and former Sounders captain Brad Evans. You won’t want to miss this one, as a few special Sounders guests could stop by to join Jimmy and Brad for the match.
