WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>“Seeing a crowd here that was packing the stadium 45 minutes before game time is emotional. It sort of represents everything that we wanted this sport to be,” Garber said. “We’ve all learned that it’s never about any one player. But we should all cherish the great experiences when legends come into your league."</p>

WHAT MLS COMMISSIONER DON GARBER SAID ABOUT THE RECORD-CROWD

<p>“One day, every night is going to be like this,” Vanney said. “It’s a spectacle of sorts. The league just has to keep growing right? You’ve got to keep getting top players because that’s what people want to see. The quality of soccer continues to get better. This is a sign that progress is being made. “The game that you saw tonight [was] partly because of the atmosphere that’s created by everything that’s going on, I can’t tell you how long, but I feel like we’re moving in that direction. I hope these nights continue to come.”</p>
