I did not go but I did go down to the local pub and watch last night. Great game! It looked like the atmosphere was awesome and I love the fact that they showed on EPSN2 the Timbers Fans singing the national anthem en masse.
It would be great to hear from a few fans that went.
First Class facility. Everyone needs to take in a game this year and experience it first hand. Fever pitch was high and the weather didnt dampen anyones spirit.
It was a lot of fun but I suspect they made it seem louder on TV. The atmosphere was great though besides the rain. I think US vs Costa Rica (97) was much much louder though but they gave us noise clappers at that game. It would be nice if they did that at a Timbers game.
I will say though I am very disappointed in the field size. Its ridiculously short for a professional team. The concourse was really wet and slippery. They need to do something about that. I thought I would be more awe inspired by the changes they made to the stadium but they just added more seats. Feels like the same place.
I wish we could attract more national team games but I really wonder if the field meets regulation for FIFA. Wish I could attend more but with tournaments and daughters soccer schedule we can't. But it was a blast.

It was a great game! Players played hard, refs were as good as can be expected, and the facility was awesome. Regulation Pitch, but without the crowning of a lot of dual use facilities it may have felt wider, which could also be perceived as shorter.
The Army was crazy, and deserved all the attention ESPN gave them. If you get an opportunity to go, don't miss it.
