- Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and his Grammy Award winning wife Ciara have become part owners of MLS’s Seattle Sounders, they said on Tuesday, adding their names to the star-studded ownership group. “We are fired up about the Seattle Sounders because it’s our home. It’s the place we get to raise our kids and the place we are forever connected to,” the couple said in a joint statement.The Sounders won the MLS Cup in 2016 and led the league in attendance for eight consecutive seasons from 2009 to 2016 while playing at CenturyLink Field, which is also home to the Seahawks.
The newly announced group of investors is led by former Microsoft executive Terry Myerson and his wife Katie Myerson and includes Seattle-bred hip hop artist Macklemore and his wife. Adrian Hanauer is the majority owner of the team, which is currently in second place in the Western Conference.
