That beautiful skyline you see above is Seattle, Washington, site of the MLS season opener between the New York Red Bulls and the expansion Seattle Sounders. I am heading to Seattle today ahead of the season opener and will be anchoring ESPN.com's coverage as well as SBI's coverage of what should be an unforgettable night.
As is the custom on SBI road trips, I want to hear from you, the SBI Mafia, about what the best things to do and places to go in Seattle. Know some good sight-seeing spots? Know a good bar to celebrate St. Patrick's Day? Have a recommendation on places for lunch and dinner?
Plenty of soccer people from all over the country will be converging on the city of coffee, rain and Grey's Anatomy and will greatly appreciate any advice you may have. I know I will.
Feel free to share your best Seattle tips, and stories, in the comments section below.
