Toronto FC will be playing before a full house at next week’s MLS Cup in Seattle.

The Seattle Sounders, Toronto’s opposition, said the Nov. 10 game at CenturyLink Field is a sellout, with more than 69,000 expected. It will be the largest soccer crowd in Seattle history.

Tickets went on sale to the public at 1 p.m. ET Friday. The sellout includes the Toronto and Seattle ticket allocations.

“We are thrilled to be playing a match of this magnitude in front of a historic home crowd of more than 69,000,” Seattle owner Adrian Hanauer said in a statement.

The Sounders averaged 40,247 fans this season, second only to Atlanta’s 52,510.
