Portland Timbers and Their Army

As of this year, Portland's long-standing soccer team is now in the major leagues, has a newly renovated stadium specifically designed for soccer and a continually growing fan base. They also have their army. The Timbers Army. Started in 2001, this independent group of fans began congregating in section 107 ("The Woodshed") to create a European-style rooting club complete with drums, flags, scarves and constant singing and chanting. Now, years later, the club has grown to comprise multiple sections. This is where my friends and I sit. RCTID!! (Rose City 'Til I Die)
