Maybe there is, though. The fan clubs, the Timbers Army and the Emerald City Supporters, imbibe before the games, but I think that's so they can sing better. They have a reputation to uphold. The Timbers Army are the authors of one cleverly crafted ditty that goes like this "Burpo, you s**k". Listen to that for an hour and a half and you will wish you had some alcohol. Sharon, I was at a Conacaf Gold Cup game in Seattle between Costa Rica and Cuba a few years ago. It was exciting. A player from Cuba, Miykal Galindo, scored Cuba's lone goal in a 3-1 loss to Costa Rica. We were watching the game following his when we heard in the stands that Galindo had asked to defect. He did and became an important part of the Seattle Sounders. Is this a great county? I don’t see any drinking at professional soccer games, or any soccer games, period. Maybe there is, though.

As a person who doesn't attend pro games ...I don't understand why people seem to think drinking is necessary at ball games ...why aren't the games and skill of the players enough? Are the games popular only because they are an excuse to give the public permission to drink and yell and carry on? If so, we're looking at generation after generation of kids brought up to believe beer, wine and ball games are synonymous. Is this good?
