Continuing with a new feature that began last week here on MLSsoccer.com, this week's four best visual showings of fan support, as seen through the lenses of photographers at stadiums across the league. This week's highlights are a certain Cascadia Cup tifo north of the border, and one side of a coast to coast rivalry.


NOTE: MLSsoccer.com does not have access to photos of every supporters section in every game that we can use on the site. Each and every supporters group will be included in this series, when possible.
