We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Seattle Sounders Fan Culture — The claim that Lumen Field was originally built for both the Seahawks and Sounders is inaccurate; it was built primarily for the Seahawks and opened in 2002, with the Sounders not playing there until 2009.
The Cascadia Rivalry Intensifies — The entry claims the '406th Infantry Band' is associated with Seattle Sounders, which is not a real tradition; the correct band is the 'Sound Wave' marching band or the 'Seattle Sounders FC Band'.
Sigi Schmid Era Begins (2010) — The STATS section lists MLS Cup Finals=2 (2016, 2017) for Schmid, but he was fired in July 2016 and did not coach in the 2016 or 2017 MLS Cup Finals; he appeared in zero MLS Cup Finals as Sounders head coach.
