The Seattle Sounders share CenturyLink Field with the National Football League team, the Seattle Seahawks. Paul Allen, who was the owner of the Seahawks, wanted to build a new stadium for his team in 1996. During this time Seattle had a bid to gain an MLS expansion team, and Allen knew that allowing the anticipated MLS team to share the stadium as a co-tenant would help him win public support for his new stadium. His plan worked, and the Seattle Sounders had a place to call home and a stadium to attract fans with Seattle Sounders tickets. The stadium has gone through a number of name changes over the years. It was originally known as Seahawks Stadium, changed to Qwest stadium in 2004, then finally CenturyLink Field in 2011. By the time the Sounders had moved into the stadium, all 22,000 Seattle Sounders tickets for the season had been sold. CenturyLink Field can seat 67,000 Seattle Sounders tickets holders and is usually filled to capacity during every home game. The holders of Seattle Sounders tickets love their team so much, that they insisted natural grass be used on the field to decrees player injuries and help the team play their best. After much debate between fans, owners, and coaches, it was decided that turf would be used. To keep Sounder fans happy, the organization First & Goal agreed to pay for natural grass to be installed on the field for the team's special events and matches. This shows the amount of love and loyalty the Sounders inspire in their fans.
