We are excited to bring back one of our favorite summer traditions.

Join us for an epic rooftop summer BBQ before the Sounders clash in a semifinal Leagues Cup match against Santos Laguna on Tuesday, Sept. 14.

The party kicks off at 4 p.m. with a pre-game BBQ at First Mode’s awesome new headquarters in Pioneer Square — just footsteps away from Lumen Field. The Sounders then take the pitch at 7 p.m. to face off against Santos Laguna.

Tickets are available here.

We can’t wait to get our favorite geeks together for our first in-person event of 2021. Take in the views, enjoy a cold beverage and chow down on some awesome BBQ at this fun summer party. Celebrity guests, cool swag and other surprises are in store.

If you’re not already a Sounders ticket holder and you’d like to attend the match, we’ve reserved a block of seats for the Leagues Cup semifinal. Or, if you just want to celebrate the last days of summer, simply choose to join us for the rooftop BBQ.

While we are excited to bring our community back together again at our first event since COVID-19 shut things down in March 2020, we recognize that things are not “back to normal.” The health and safety of our attendees, sponsors and vendors is of paramount importance, and we are taking multiple steps to make sure we can safely enjoy this one-of-a-kind get together. A few things to note:

  • We are requiring that all guests attest to being fully vaccinated.
  • Attendees will also be required at check-in to present a physical or digital version of their vaccine card.
  • Temperature checks will be administered at check-in, and those experiencing fever will not be admitted.
  • While registration will take place indoors, most of the activities will take place on First Mode’s rooftop deck and outdoor patio.
  • For activities occurring inside, masks must be worn unless someone is eating or drinking.
  • Staff, volunteers and vendors will be masked.
  • For those attending the match, Sounders’ tickets will be distributed 100% digitally.
  • Hand sanitizer and masks will be provided.

Please note this event is 21+, and see our full COVID policy in the FAQ on the event site.
