RENTON — Having already set a Major League Soccer record for attendance in its inaugural season, the Seattle Sounders FC are looking for even bigger numbers in year No. 2.

The Sounders said Wednesday that they will cap season-ticket sales at 32,000 for the 2010 season. That’s 10,000 more than their first season, when the Sounders averaged a league-record 30,943 per match.

Seattle says its season-ticket package includes 15 regular-season MLS matches and three international friendlies yet to be announced. The team says less than 1,000 season-ticket packages remain.

The Sounders kick off the 2010 MLS season when they host the expansion Philadelphia Union on March 25.
