This was our first Timbers game. We sat in section 208 in the section above the Timbers Army (100 level) …what a blast! Be advised if your Ticket say GA and has a section, row and seat it is still a General Admission ticket…first come etc. This is how they come out of Ticket Master just like the Zoo Concert tickets.
We were able to park of Love Joy and walk to the game like the other Timber fanatics. We started heading downtown around 4:30 PM. This way we could park and eat at our choice of spots in the Pearl for Happy Hour (which starts at 5:00 PM). We chose Basta (best spaghetti and meatballs in town). I definitely recommend coming down early and eating in the Pearl vs. the stadium food. We got to the stadium around 6:15 PM and had our choice of seating.
The atmosphere is family friendly and a total blast. Download the chants off the internet or buy a chant book if you are not familiar with them.
