MLS Cup Arrives on Bainbridge Ferry

November 18th, 2009 by admin

The Philip F. Anschutz MLS Cup was in Bainbridge today. Why? That’s the million dollar question. Anyway, here’s a video of the trophy coming off the MV Tacoma ferry at Colman Dock in Seattle. Sounders coach Sigi Schmid and Sounders technical director Chris Henderson are carrying the hardware.
The Los Angeles Galaxy and Real Salt Lake will play for the trophy in the MLS championship game on Sunday at Qwest Field. It will be televised live by ESPN at 5:30 p.m.

I guess this was the official kickoff to MLS Cup festivities and the league was looking to make a big splash by having the sterling-silver cup arrive via ferry. It made for a nice photo op, and there were a few hands on the Seattle side, waiting to greet the trophy.
