The year was 1909, and Seattle was hosting the Alaska-Yukon Exposition. Along the shores of Lake Union, a 20-foot-tall sign was illuminated declaring “You’ll like Tacoma”. The City of Tacoma was enticing businessmen from around the world to live and do business in the City of Destiny.

Fast forward to 2018. Supporters from the South Sound got together to create a welcome message for our S2 boys as they transitioned from Tukwila to their new home in Tacoma. This tifo was unveiled on March 16, 2018 at the inaugural S2 match at Cheney Stadium in front of a full house. The boys went on to win the match against their rivals 2 to 1. 109 years later, the message still rings true, you’ll like Tacoma.

This display was painted over a weekend and used over 350 square feet of fabric and 7 gallons of paint.

S2 is back in action this Wednesday, March 28th at 7pm. Come down to Cheney Stadium and help push the Boys from Tacoma to victory, you'll like Tacoma too!
