The Timbers play at Merlo Field again this Friday, in a preseason exhibition match against U of P.

If you haven’t bought season tickets (you really should!), you can buy single game tickets starting today.

We’re less than a month away from the beginning of the season; a road game at Vancouver on Saturday, April 25 kicks it off. The Timbers first home game is against Carolina the following (thirsty) Thursday, April 30th.
