"It’s unbelievable — unbelievable. You have to come here and play to the field, but the atmosphere is unbelievable. If you can step away and look at it from a league perspective — what a great place, what a great environment, and what a great job the owner and the whole franchise have done to create a great atmosphere."

- D.C. United Head Coach Ben Olsen

"It’s fantastic. Portland should be proud of themselves and the players should be thrilled that they get to play in this environment every week."

- Real Salt Lake head coach Jason Kreis

"Fantastic. Fantastic atmosphere. The fan base of Portland should be really proud. I thought they came out and added some energy to the team. There’s no doubt that this team is playing with such inspiration because of that fan support. You can call them the 12th man or whatever, but I think when you win your first two games at home that just tells more and more things for the future."

- FC Dallas head coach Schellas Hyndman

"That’s what a stadium is supposed to look like. [It was a] pretty good crowd. It seems like they’re very educated. It was great. Really, the stadium is very nice, and it seems like the people around here know how to support the team."

- Columbus Crew head coach Robert Warzycha

"It was nothing different from PPL Park. I thought they did a very good job and the fans stayed behind the team for 90 minutes, and I think it was a good experience for everybody."

- Philadelphia Union head coach Peter Nowak
