For me, it makes all the difference!RipCityPilot wrote:The Timbers beat Vancouver 1-0 IN VANCOUVER (what? an away win?) and have won the Cascadia Cup! Serious question: as a Timbers fan, would this make up for the otherwise disappointing season?
I don't live or die by the results of the Timbers OR Pilots games (thankfully)...but I savor every positive moment I can.
Knowing a number of friends who had to endure the crowd in Seattle during the Timbers recent game there, I expect all of them can now come out of their deep funk and maybe even go out in public again.

QFT. What an exceptional outlook to have in sports, and perhaps in life.
Just got back and I can say that while it didn't seem like we took over downtown Vancouver like we did last year, we still outsang their whole (half?) stadium. A tremendous moment seeing the joy on the players' faces as they held the cup up to us.
I did notice an increased awareness of the Whitecaps in general around town, which bodes well for their future. I can't tell you how many times I was asked last year what I was in town for. And which team the Timbers were playing.

It helps that they're playing in a beautiful stadium in the downtown area of the city instead of Swanguard (which was still a cool place) or Empire Stadium. Vancouver as an awayday beats Seattle by a long way in both the city and the people.VillaGorilla wrote:

I'm going to sit back an enjoy this for a while. The last game is the 27th, then on the 28th let the demolition work begin.

Or does it speak more to the fact that the Canucks are currently locked out?
