Portland Timbers Tickets

The Portland Timbers is one of the success stories of the MLS. long accustomed to competing at the very top of the united states soccer leagues, they have been well run by the peregrine sports, who own the club, and the club is known to make sensible, shrewd signings that improve the team ethic and quality, rather than splurging on European imports who may be glamorous but long past their prime. The Portland timbers call Portland, Oregon their hometown, and play their matches at the Jeld-Wen field which seats 20,323 fans. They share this team with Portland state Vikings football team and a new team, Portland Thorns Football Club, a women's soccer team. They have some of the loudest and boisterous fans, known as the timbers army, who use cool stuff such as scarves and flags more common among European teams and never ending chanting to support their team.Since it became the 18th team to join the MLS in the year 2007, the Portland Timbers have long become accustomed to moderate success, with reaching the MLS playoffs generally regarded as a good season. However, this season,the team have shocked many, not least themselves, by embarking on a great run of only one defeat in 13 matches so far, having won five matches and drawn seven.This great run has seen players such as Jamaican duo Ryan Johnson and goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts star for the timbers shine and earn international caps for their country. With such impressive form which was capped by a superb 3 nil home win over Chivas USA, there are growing chorus of voices around Portland timbers' home town of Oregon and beyond, that just another playoff spot and good performances may not be enough this time round. They are looking at winning MLS championship, and as long as such solidity in form continues, and they start converting some of their draws into wins, talks of building a sustained and credible assault of being the best team in the MLS may not seem so farfetched come the close season.
