    I admit baseball can be boring to watch on TV but I would wager that you would end up enjoying going to the ball park on nice warm summer evening. Especially in such a beautiful setting as the one proposed.....if they can pull it off. You will get into it.

    It's a nice way to spend a summer evening with friends or family. I don't know about doing it 40 times a year though.

    If the stadium bar isn't named "Bottom of the 1/5" someone needs to be fired

    Yup - everything about the Blazers is the best and most unique in all of sports! I absolutely love the fact that we have an abstract logo!

    I've been to a few Mariners games and ended up leaving early because it was so boring.

    What about having it be the Rose City (Insert Name Here) kind of like the Golden State Warriors? Even though the Warriors is a very generic sports name it makes it a lot more unique than calling them the Oakland Warriors.

    I don't know....

    Rose City Pioneers is kind of cool and fits with the Trail Blazers too.

    I don't want Mavericks but if they did name them that I'd want the Rose City part so it's different.

    I think the people claiming boredom at baseball games are missing the point.

    Baseball is a regional sport. There are diehard fans in places like Philly, NY, Bos, etc. because they were around since birth.

    In Portland, at least at the beginning, you'd probably want to go for the good times with friends, or you kids. As the years pass, the passion will grow.

    Don't go to baseball games to be on the edge of your seat. Go to relax, have a few beverages, and hang out.

    I love to try and catch foul balls or home runs, so knowing that at any point a ball could fly at you is something that keeps me engaged.

    But why? I can do that with friends at a bar with a nice patio and not pay double-price for my drinks. Or in a park or one of our backyards for half the price of going to a bar.
