    Rose Quarter is the only option.

    The wheels are already in motion for the post office site in the Pearl - A cluster of high-rises are being planned.

    Im the meantime where would they play?

    Providence Park is too small. Maybe share Seattle's CenturyLink Park?

    I'm actually proud of the stance Portland took regarding pro sports teams. These billionaire owners use other cities as leverage so they can take levy stadium finding and take the public to brown town. It's disgusting. There is no way that would happen here. Although, I will be first to admit, I don't blame Davis for wanting out of O.co Coliseum. That place is a dump. Will be interesting to see where they end up.

    The RQ is not the only option.

    Industrial NW on the river is the better option. It would anchor future development.

    It would be easier to get to Autzen than CLP.

    If they build the Delta Dome like they planned many years ago Portland would have had an NFL team for a reasonable price. But the locals f-cked that up too. The politicians here are as bad as New York.

    That would be a great location. The lots directly south are already being developed.

    Oakland is gonna get 100m to start a new stadium.

    They aren't moving, they ARE the Bay Area team now that the Niners moved, foolish to move from that media hotbed.

    Yes. But it would be nice to light a fire under the entitled Seattle sports scene that assumes everybody here in Portland follows the Mariners and Seahawks. We all don't and never will!

    I agree, besides Portland couldn't have an NFL team. Traffic alone would be a huge reason.

    The Raiders will have the option to share a stadium with the Rams in Inglewood, Cal. if the Chargers decide to stay in San Diego. However, the Chargers get up to a year to decide so it would be next summer if the Raiders left.

    I believe the chargers have the option to share with the Rams.

    Yes. The Chargers get the first option. What I am saying is, if they decline, then the Raiders get the chance to share with the Rams instead.

    Ahhhhhh I gotcha. What are your thoughts? I think the Chargers will move because their owner is a cheapskate from what I've heard.
