I've been here since 1981.  I've seen one Sounders team fold, and one on 
life support.
I believe we have a city that supports "big event" soccer.

US national team drew roughly 16k twice here last year, 19k in 2003.  Even 
Chelsea-Celtic drew much less in the second year of the CW tour.  Give 'em a 
big event every couple of years and attendance will stay high.

Of course, that may not be specific to Seattle.
