    The Blazers are on a bus right now headed to Eugene so they can fly out to Denver. According to Ch. 8 news.

    Let's hope no more planes skid off the runway in Denver...

    Will they have to fly back into Eugene or will PDX re-open by Monday night?

    I'm guessing they'll survive it.

    I seriously doubt the game on Tuesday is going to happen. Not only will be it very difficult for both teams to get into town, none of the fans will be able to get to the game.

    I think the game will still go on. It was like this three years ago when we played Washington, and they played in front of about 2,000 fans if that. Just hope the guys stay safe, as with everybody else.

    I doubt it. I'm sure they've arranged to charter a plane.

    Gramps...

    Well, if you are planning on driving up to Portland from Seattle, you will indeed be screwed.

    Portland's mean elevation is 52 feet, Seattle is at sea level, so ... :dunno:

    Portland has a higher elevation than Seattle, so it literally is driving "up".

    Portland, OR Latitude = 45°31'N

    Seattle, WA Latitude = 47°37'N

    My latitude trumps your altitude.

    Besides, he said he was flying into SEA and driving up to PDX.

    SEA Altitude = 429'

    PDX Altitude = 27'
