Supporters groups and the Alliance Council will lead the players, who will travel the route on Emerald City Trolleys, while Sound Wave brings up the rear. Fans are encouraged to line the streets before following behind the procession, and are also invited to simply wait for the march at Seattle Center.
The rally at the Fisher Lawn is scheduled to start at 12:30 p.m. and continue to 1:30 p.m. In addition to the players and team personnel, Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, Congressman Jim McDermott and King County Executive Dow Constantine will also be speaking about the Sounders.
