Allen signs on with MLS effort

Paul Allen is confirmed as third owner for MLS Seattle (whatever name is chosen)

Quite notable as well is the public celebration of the Sounders win of the USL - 1 Championship at Qwest Field during a Seahawks game. That will give Seattle soccer more publicity in one weekend than it has recieved since the NASL days.

I don't know how many big 4 sports clubs have raised banners for a minor league team which they don't own during a game.

Since the MLS Seattle announcement is likely going to be late next week, I'm wondering if it has now been pushed to Oct 14th and will occur during the ceremony. Also having a championship banner hanging all year in Qwest will help the sport with local credibility as every Sunday tens of thousands will see it.
