MLS Cup Playoffs - December 11 - Portland (Away)

[The Toe]

I ran into Ryan Meara at the gym this morning. He's going with Portland and is cheering for them, and thinks playing in Portland is tougher than most places; excited for the MLS tier 2 league; thought Philly unfortunately got the raw end of an antiquated COVID policy. Very nice guy, though, and I was the only one that recognized the professional athlete at the gym.

Which sections is it?

Someone just recently posted an image about them opening a section directly below the away support.

I don't have numbers but given the sales reports and additional batches of tickets made available I have to think the Timbers are allocating at or near (or even above?) 5% to us.
Full credit to Paulson and the organization.

Nothing to do with Paulson or Timbers. MLS controls the ticket policies for this match. We get up to 2,500.

That's 10% of capacity. Is that the new rule? Paulson was asking for (and did not get) 5% in Atlanta

Not sure of the new rules. But the league increased the allotment since the 2018 MLS Cup when Timbers blew through their allocation. It might be a ticket number rather than a percentage. Unsure.

This is great news if it rains, as those sections are all under cover. The supporters section and the opposite side…are not.

For those staying local, official watch party announced.

I thought like 90+% of the seats in Portland are covered?

What a beauty of a ball. RJ Allen went for it all this game... Valeri's nuts, great assist, solid play in the all sky blue kits.

[EDIT] AND a Khiry showing at the end of the vid!?!?

If there was any justice in this world they would bring back those exact kits for the cup.

Still believe that this is the greatest pass/assist in club history.

My understanding was that much of the original “J” is covered, but the newer stands are not.

While I’m here, let’s also take a moment for Jason Kreis. Without him laying the groundwork, the club wouldn’t be where it is today. Let’s be dicks Sunday!!!

That look on David Villa’s face when Kreis is saying “be a dick” is like “who the eff is this guy??”
