Soccer and suds on a Seattle afternoon.

One of my favorite days of the year is just a month away. That’s right, sports fans. Mark your calendars.

Let's get fired up Seattle! Sounders Day is a month away.

Our annual GeekWire Sounders Day bash is coming up on Saturday, July 18th, taking place on the amazing rooftop deck of title sponsor EMC/Isilon.

Make sure to grab your tickets today, as this party sells out fast and demand is already surpassing expectations.

Never attended Sounders Day?

Here’s how this one-of-a-kind geek sporting experience plays out. We gather on the rooftop deck of EMC/Isilon starting around 4 p.m.; enjoy some tasty BBQ; top-notch Seattle microbrews; awesome geeks and listen to remarks from Sounders FC owner Adrian Hanauer.

Then, at about 6:30 p.m., we’ll march to the match to watch the Sounders take on the Colorado Rapids. Official kick off is 7 p.m.

We’ve reserved a special block of seats at CenturyLink Field where the GeekWire faithful can chant, sing and cheer on our Sounders during the match. Grab those tickets to the game and party here. (Note: Game tickets will be distributed at the registration desk at the tailgate party at EMC/Isilon).

If you’re already a Sounders FC season ticket holder or just want to hang with us on the rooftop deck, you can join us for the pre-game festivities for either $7 (developers and engineers) or $12 (general admission).

Food and beverages will be provided at the pre-game party courtesy of EMC/Isilon, our title sponsor of this very special event.

Even better, the first 50 folks to arrive for Sounders Day will receive a specially-designed soccer scarf.

This is the first time that we’ve hosted Sounders Day on a Saturday, so we’re expecting a big crowd. Make sure to grab those tickets below, and go Sounders!!

Also, a special thanks to supporting sponsors Dropforge Games and OfferUp.
