Fun facts about Sounders FC revealed on Campers Appreciation Day at Qwest Field
Posted by Jose Romero
Yes, there was a practice. Even a shortened reserve game with the Seattle Wolves. But today was all about the kids, maybe a couple of thousand of them in the stands.
The team rearranged its practice schedule -- normally it would be at Starfire today -- to make the appearance.
Afterward, players and coaches passed around a microphone and revealed a factoid or two about himself. Some were serious, some were just to give a teammate or a coach a hard time, some were just funny. You decide for yourselves.
