That was awesome to see. As a Sounders fan, I love when they open up the whole Century Link Field for big games. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the actual playing surface at Ford Field is too small. They can host exhibition games there [[USWNT), but not real games. Heck, the NYCFC plays in Yankee Stadium; maybe we could see a game or two in Comerica Park [[yuck).
