I was worried about losing a sporting club where traffic and crowds aren't issues at the games, but it sounds like that void will be filled!

Carey must have quite a bit of influence. Gaschk reports that due to Carey's insistence, the new team -- which kicks off its first season in 2009 -- will be the only professional franchise in America to have a marching band.

 

And here's another radical idea: Fans will be able to buy membership in the team, which will give them the power to vote out the general manager. That, too, came from Carey

I thought I read somewhere that the Sounders might be moved out to Kitsap, and that the new MLS franchise would be a unique entity. Either way, MLS in Seattle!!!! Woot!
