PRESERVE. CELEBRATE. INSPIRE.
The more in public we are, the more influence we have as role models. It's something we work hard on, but the substance was there before the world saw it. It wasn't like we said we'd better get ready to be role models. The core group has been together since 1989, and we've been aware of our opportunity to improve the game worldwide and improve people's lives. It's been our ambition for a long, long time.

August 2, 1983 – The first sporting event in the newly opened Tacoma Dome features the Sounders hosting Brazil Internacional in their EuroPac tournament opener, a 2-1 loss before 6,340. Peter Ward is the first to find the net in the game’s 11th minute. Ruben Paz and Rene score just over three minutes apart midway through the second half for the visitors from Porto Alegre. Ownership missed making payroll to the players and staff the day prior, and there had been doubt as to whether Seattle would compete after missing a $48,000 CDN payment to the Vancouver Whitecaps, who are tournament hosts.

Clint Dempsey and the Sounders both snap out of a funk with his three goals supplying all the firepower in a 3-1 win at Orlando City. For Dempsey, who's scored just three times in the first 12 games, it's his second career hat trick. Newly-signed Nico Lodeiro and rookie Jordan Morris assist on two of the goals. Seattle had gone just 2-8-2 in the previous 14 outings which resulted in a coaching change.
