On the way to their 2024 MLS Western Conference Finals appearance, the Sounders rode an extra boost throughout the season when playing at Lumen Field: their thunderous, raucous and fun-filled fans. Across 17 games, 522,812 fans attended Sounders’ matches, with an average of 30,754 - the third-highest in MLS. The Sounders squad had the best defense in the league, and the fans kept the energy soaring from the opening kick deep into the US Open Cup and MLS Cup Playoffs, a remarkable set of runs for a remarkable fan base led by the innovative influential Sounders FC Alliance.
