2 days ago | tri-cityherald.com | Andy Yamashita

Giancarlo Annese traversed more than 700 miles to sit in the stands of Lumen Field on a drizzly Saturday afternoon. It's nowhere near the farthest he's ever traveled to watch Inter Milan play a match. A little more than a year ago, Annese - a third-generation Italian American who's supported Inter Milan since the 1990s - made a 5,954-mile journey to the San Siro, Inter's historic stadium in Milan, Italy. It was the first and only time Annese, 39, had ever seen his club play a game in person.

To call Pat Chun’s past few months eventful is probably an understatement. Chun, completing his first full year as Washington athletic director, has presided over the Huskies’ transition to the Big Ten. He’s been charged with managing a budget beset by stadium debt and half shares of the conference’s media distribution. And now, it’s Chun’s job to guide the Huskies through one of the biggest changes to college athletics since the inception of the NCAA.

On June 11, the UW Board of Regents — meeting virtually in a public Zoom session — voted unanimously to approve the university’s operating budget for the upcoming fiscal year. UW’s intercollegiate athletics operating budget, which projects a $19 million negative cash flow for the 2026 fiscal year (FY26), was among the items approved. The Huskies remain in a precarious financial position. They’re still incurring one-time costs as they continue settling into the Big Ten.

Long before the lineups were introduced or a ball was even kicked, the Urawa Red Diamond faithful began chanting. Seated in the southern end zone section of Lumen Field, the 1,800 Red Diamonds fans were a sea of red — jumping, clapping and waving flags in coordination while their songs and drums echoed off the cantilevered roofs of Lumen Field. For 73 minutes, their cheering never wavered. Until River Plate’s Maximiliano Meza pulled out the silencer.

Seated on the steps in the late-afternoon sun along the west side of Lumen Field, Torri Murray watches the Sounders fans’ march to the match walk past while he finishes his traditional pre-match bratwurst. His order includes grilled onions and yellow banana peppers. Murray, who moved to Seattle from New Orleans less than two years ago, remains unconvinced by the proposition of adding cream cheese. “I haven’t tried it yet,” he said. “That scares me. Cream cheese?

Two or three times a year, Laurent Bourscheidt makes a 10,000-mile pilgrimage. His destination isn’t Notre Dame on the banks of the Seine. He doesn’t return to Paris, his hometown, to see the stained-glass windows of Sainte-Chapelle or climb the steps of the Rue Foyatier to reach the Sacré-Cœur Basilica. Bourscheidt, who has lived in Seattle for more than a decade, flies to Paris multiple times a year to visit a different holy site.
