    Imho, for all intents and purposes, it's doesn't seem like a likely thing anymore. Especially with how difficult it's becoming to even figure out where to build the stadium.

    Barrett just said the other day that the city has really been behind them making T2 work and was encouraged that it would.

    I'm not saying they're for sure getting a team but what are they supposed to do or say right now? Once the season ends I expect that both the Oakland and Tampa Bay situations will be pushed along by more pressure to get either new stadiums or relocate. I think it would be good if both relocated to the rumored locations (Las Vegas and Montreal respectively). That literally leaves Portland as the only real player for an expansion team in the Pacific Time Zone.

    It just seems like people are mistaking things not happening that can't really happen anyway as some sort of reasoning behind it not happening.

    No, being out in public and being prepared if a team moves or MLB expands is the right play if it's going to happen. I just don't get why people have to mistake no major events lately for some sort of sign it's falling apart.

    It's not falling apart. It's never been more than a pipe dream

    Yep on both issues.
    First T2 has and always will be the favorite site for the city and the PDP just because of the cost to build it and the infrastructure already in place. Here is another thing. If they were to choose to build at Lloyd Center kiss the NBA All-Star game away for at least 5-7 years. That area would not be able to handle that kind of event while construction of that nature is going on.
    Second. Don't see any statement happening before the season is over. Possibly not until next year? In the end Portland wants an expansion team. Not a team that is moving. But either would be better than nothing.

    Have you noticed new talks have started about the CRC? That has piqued my interest also.

    I don't think they're getting the ASG here regardless of what happened to the Lloyd Center. It sounds like the team didn't even submit a request to get the game here the last 2 times anywho. I kind of think they knew it was a fruitless effort.

    One more game to go. Tonight in Houston. 8:07 I presume Eastern time. Since you're dying to know, it's on Fox.

    I tend to agree with you. I just don't see this actually happening but, hey might as well try I suppose.

    The commish didn’t even mention Portland recently when the As and Oakland were messing up again. He named Vegas as the threat. I was a big believer in this when it first came out because of how confident and bold PDP sounded but lately you can just tell they lost a lot of steam.
