Jason Rojo will never forget the first time he marched out of the tunnel at CenturyLink Field. The nervous anticipation had been brewing for weeks, and it finally reached its peak as he heard the theme music played at every MLS stadium signaling that the game was just moments away.

“I was almost in tears because it was such an incredible moment,” said Rojo.

He’s not a hot, young prospect that was scouted for years by Adrian Hanauer, Chris Henderson and Sigi Schmid, but on that day, he sure felt like one. Rojo is 39 and works for Marine View Beverages in Olympia. He has been a season ticket holder for Sounders FC since 2009, runs the Olympia chapter of ECS—called Black Hills Militia—and this year he took part in Sounders FC Adult Dream Camp, which culminated with a match at CenturyLink Field on Saturday.

He was one of 36 participants in the first Sounders FC Adult Dream Camp. They were wide-ranging in ages and abilities, but all were there to get the experience of being a Sounders FC player.
