With the new NHL team coming in they will most likely get one prerty soon. My guess is by 2025. Probably through relocation....
I still cant believe that Seattleites let Schultz sell the team to Bennet. Nordstrom's would have never done that. Thats what can happen though in an ultra left city where that don't value assets as much, unless its a tram, bike paths, or the local prostitute STARBUCKS!
Um...we would actually burn seattle. Portland will become an aboriginal tribe community. Spears, living in mud, etc.
Not trying to be a jerk, but your clueless & simply not paying attention if you think the Blazers will ever move from Portland. There are a lot of teams that would LOVE to have the fan and business support the Blazers have. There is absolutely no reason the Blazers would ever leave. None.
Its all about the corporate. AEG, McGowan, Leiweike.....watch them in the future. Portland is a small, homegrown city. Seattle is super corporate with huge corporate backing and a bunch of bandwagon types that would fit in if the team gets packaged to them in a nice corporate sterile package.
Portland is not that small. There are 8 other NBA cities that are smaller than us. And Portland is growing, more large corporations move offices here each year. Keep believing the junk that guys like Crapzano feeds you. I'll be here 15+ years from now still rooting for the PORTLAND Trail Blazers.
I think we're scared of what happens when PA isn't around any more, you really think his sister wouldn't sell them to a Seattle businessmen in a second?
I know this is a few years old, but it shows the growth of the sponsorship revenue for the Trail Blazers. And I'm sure it's grown even more now that Biofreeze is on the jersey. http://www.sponsorship.com/iegsr/2016/01/25/Portland-Trail-Blazers-Find-Success-With--Less-Is-.aspx
