If you're gonna be on Capitol Hill, The Summit Pub is small, but probably the best footy pub south of Ballard. Lots of local footy history in there. It's not a far walk from the downtown center. Maybe 20 minutes.
Fado or the Owl & Thistle would probably be good. Atlantic Crossing in Roosevelt or Feierabend in SLU might not be bad either.
The George and Dragon in Fremont (google it) is by far the best place to watch a game. A good portion of the Sounder faithful do pre drinking there before the game. Then the bar charters a bus to take them to the game. Even after the bus leaves the bar is still packed and wild with Sounder fans. Hardcore fans are there so do not wear your Galaxy Jersey or talk about Landy Cakes!
We walked past a scalper while crossing King Street into the stadium parking lot, and I decided to mess with him. I asked him how much he was selling for, and he said $100. I said, "Oh, that's too much. I was just going to buy it to resell it." Then I told him that the hype for this game is so much bullshit. That seemed to offend him even more, and he went into a speel about how big this game is that would probably get him hired by the league marketing department. Then, to my utter amusement, he underscored his proclamation by stating that he was from Portland, and thus he understood the real importance of this game. I responded gleefully, "You just proved me right!"
