will still play at CenturyLink Field
The Seattle Sounders are going their own way.
The club and the NFL's Seattle Seahawks, who have shared business operations since Seattle were admitted to MLS in 2007, announced Thursday that the Sounders will become independent from the Super Bowl champions beginning April 30.
"This is a sensible business decision for our franchise," Sounders majority owner Joe Roth said in a statement. "Our vision is to grow our business to unprecedented levels both domestically and abroad. This move will position us to achieve that goal. The Seahawks have been vital to our early success and we thank Paul Allen and his organization for their support."
