    Leave the MC and that area alone. A new stadium should be the anchor for development in underdeveloped areas of the city. Like someone else said the perfect location is in Industrial NW Portland. Multiple freeway accesses and easy to expand the existing streetcar line. Also that area will eventually go the way that the South Waterfront area has but the majority of the land is currently a superfund site. A stadium with Forest Park on one side and the Willamette on the other would be gorgeous and an anchor for future growth.

    The area around the MC is already built and developed and the I-5/I-84 interchange is horribly fucked. It would kinda work for football but baseball would grindlock the area during any weekday game.

    What about western shore just south of the 405 bridge? Could develop more around there, especially to the north side of the bridge.

    The NW industrial Area has way too much going on. It is in fact a huge money maker for the city and has not only rail but Waterway traffic. Changing that would be way too costly.
    IMO it would be far better and easier to locate around PIR/Meadows/Delta Park. Then of course the bridge which is going to be built anyway will have to be built and they already have light rail out there Yellow Line. Also it makes all the Vancouver to Longview to Camas to Hood River to the Dalles people available to support the team.
    The flip side to that is that Beaverton and Hillsboro would have to drive a little further to get there. Just don't put the stadium out in Hillsboro whatever they decide to do.

    Mike Barrett >>> Kevin Calabro.

    Calabro would be trying to bring our team to Seattle.

    Barrett would be a good Play-By-Play guy for baseball.

    I just want a team to root for that's not the Seattle Mariners. That franchise is cursed. Baseball games during the summer at a stadium built on the river (kinda like the Giants Stadium) would be sooo nice!

    I just want a stadium on the river. Just south of the I-405 bridge would be nice. Build a glass, see-through half-roof that covers the field and is only open on the side that is the river. Would have a riverwalk kind of like this:[​IMG]
    Imagine that on the Willamette, with poles going up to the end of the roof which is open on that side. It would be beautiful.
