Thoughts? I’ve heard past attempts haven’t been successful but it would be nice, right?

Can see my house in this image, so that would be tight. It’s the white one in the back
after today ive lost all faith in any good sporting news happening for portland
Would love for Portland to have more than just an NBA team. MLB, NFL, NHL bring it on.
i want it so bad. portland would embrace a baseball team so wonderfully
From what I’ve gathered, Portland is the most organized with plans, committee, city involvement etc to try and get an expansion team. Problem is we have a much smaller market than other cities like Nashville and Montreal.
I really don’t think a MLB team will come because we can’t overcome having a smaller market. Not for the lack of trying though.
Please come to Portland. More outfield seats though.
Would love it. Would hate it if it went to Redtail just cause it’s the closest driving range for me.
I wish but after they basically tossed aside AAA ball (when Portland had a long history of baseball), I don’t think they’re viewed so much as a serious option.
The Portland Pines/Steelheads/Beavers/Orcas/Loggers will be so hot in the ‘30s.
Moved here this year. Hoping for the same!
Portland would make a lot of sense with the organized group, lack of other sports teams, and how Seattle could really benefit from being less isolated/having a rival. I think we’ll be seeing Portland and Nashville expansions to get to 32 teams imo.
But it’s Portland….one of the worst cities in America. So 😑😑
The Portland Athletics
If the As have to move, Portland would be so much better than Vegas!
I used to live in PDX and grew up visiting family there…it’s hard to imagine lloyd center being gone
Portland seems pretty far down on the list of cities to get a team, but if they build their own stadium then might entice the MLB to make a move similar to what they did with Tampa
Yeah that’s the other possibility for the A’s should Vegas somehow still manage to fall apart.
MLB has been on record as saying they want to add two teams once the A’s and Rays stadium situations are resolved. If the A’s move to Vegas, that takes the west coast expansion front runner out, and Portland could be right behind. If not Portland, then where? Salt Lake? Sacramento?
I just realized that on a clear day you might be able to see Mt. Hood from behind home plate nosebleeds. That would be epic.
Edit – nvm. I didn’t see the Willamette River on the left side. Sigh.
Just looking at that (obviously very early) rendering…the shadows at sunset going through those buildings would be absolutely bonkers.
Anyone who’s been to a Timbers game can tell you how wild Portlanders can get. The Blazers have a nice following and fans show up when they’re winning. Living right across the river, I’m obviously biased, but I think Portland would be a great option. Just gonna need a retractable roof lol
Wouldn’t parking be an issue for Portland? Here in Toronto it’s a pain to drive down to the Rogers Centre. Parking is ok, not the best.
