Did you go to the game? Belive it or not, we went with the entire family and we had so much fun. We actually sat right next to the "Timber Army" and I thought it was a blast.
I have not been to a soccer game in years and certainly never before in the States. How fun!!! The mascot of the Timbers is "Timber Joey", which is a guy dressed like a logger. He is in front of the stands, swings a chainsaw (really, I am NOT kidding) which is running, and rattles the engine every so often...it is hilarious. On the field there is a big log, and whenever the Timbers score Joey, cuts off a slice from the log. He then "presents" the slice to the audience...people (including my 5-year old) get to touch it and cheer it. It's a trophy...unfortunately (for us) the Timbers won 2:0. So this means, that Joey cut a slice for each person who shot the goal AND a third slice for the goalkeeper. When the game was over, Joey presented the "slices/trophies..." to the players in front of the Timber Army. It was sooooo... loud, but so much fun...
So if you have a chance, go to a Timbers game. Thursdays are great days b/c $2.50/pints (and yes they have IPA), but soda is still $3.75 (!!!), the other great thing is that with general admission you can choose your seat anywhere in the general admission section. So, so fun...
