Ownership says the stadium situation is untenable. The ownership situation actually feels like the lever that needs to be changed. If they can't get a deal done with better terms in Lumen, and their fallback is a small stadium in Renton, they absolutely need to sell the team.
The Seattle area just showed we are a top market for soccer in the country at the World Cup.
The low-spending Sounders, in a league of Messi and Son, are still top 3 in league streaming viewership and attendance.
The owner’s biggest idea is moving to a 25k seat stadium in a Renton business park.

The Sounders held their Annual Business Meeting on Saturday. The biggest topic of discussion was around the possibility of moving to Renton. We discussed it all here: www.sounderatheart.com/2026/09/key-...

Great save by Jackson, but how did he let this get past him in the first place?

I truly have to apologize to Jordan, he really is back on that upwards trend I doubted he could find and he is worth his money again on top of being a true Sounder.
Schmetzer on Morris: ‘Jordan has done a lot for the sounders. What we liked about tactics today, he’s almost a second forward. That first goal was tremendous.’

Take the f*cking money a 25k stadium would cost to build and SOLVE these problems instead. There is no way the stadium is cheaper than heavily going after solutions for these pathetic problems. Of course, that is if you are truly invested in solving these problems not just using them as an excuse!
“We don’t have permanent locker rooms. That is not acceptable. There are not the revenue opportunities for these teams. You might know there are soccer teams here but barely. That’s not good enough. Scheduling not a high priority.”

I truly cannot believe that after this summer, with Seattle putting on a show in the world cup and packing the streets with their passion for soccer, that they want to move to a 25k seat SSS in Renton. Insane.

This did not age well. Luckily 😁
Whittaker gets his brace and makes it 3-1. Honestly, that's a pretty sick goal. I wis the Sounders would score sick goals.

I am a sucker for some good data analysis. And the below is excellent.
Not just because it really matches how I feel about this current situation. Because feelings make much worse facts than data :)

The Sounders’ injury crisis has become so absurd that @adamlrace.bsky.social felt compelled to create a new statistic to illustrate it.

We all know there is a D in the word dumb. D as in Donald.
Trump: "I call them Dumocrats because their policies are so dumb. All you do is take the E and replace it with a U and nobody knows there's a B — nobody knows there's a B in 'dumb.'"
