Seattle fans stayed up late to welcome their Sounders home on Sunday night, descending on a local airport by the hundreds to hail the team plane's return from Denver after the club sealed their first MLS Cup berth with a 1-0 victory at Colorado that ensured a 3-1 aggregate win over the Rapids in the Western Conference Championship.

Here are some of the best images from the arrival, as collected from Twitter:
