Cheers mate.
That stadium in downtown Portland, the rose city, is quite intimate. Enjoy.
We're there now mate, really nice ground actually. Timbers just went 1-0 up, Rodriguez header.

Did you enjoy the game? Always curious to see what non-yanks think of MLS.
It was terrific mate. It helped that it was against Galaxy and the Timbers gave them a bit of a hiding for sure, but it was great and very familiar.
Providence Park is a superb stadium, we were in the GA section so no seat allocation, so we were free to mingle with loads of fans who were all sound. There's cheerleading, but in a cool way, then the bonkers-ness of the log, which has to be the maddest thing I've seen in football for a long time.
Really mixed crowd as well. Thoroughly enjoyed it, was a proper footy game.
This has given me nightmares. Surely that's not a real meal?

There are probably bigger clubs in MLS but Portland is the closest to being like a European club, with the local support and neighborhood ground and supporters holding the chairman/owner accountable for their actions.
Probably more like a German club than an English club, though. That's been the biggest difference in American footy culture to what I see in action in places like GOT. We don't spend the whole match having a moan and complaining about how miserable it all is. It's a much more upbeat experience.

Looks like you are having a fabulous time! Say hi to Mrs Ste from us too.
Found out most of the pineapple in Hawaii is imported now! Learned that while having dinner with some friends in Oahu a few weeks ago.
