    You guys are complaining about this like Covid never happened, and the Portland Diamond people control the timeline.

    The word i have heard is the conversations about considering Portland stopped fairly abruptly during this last summer when riots consumed the city.
    Heck they still have riots nearly weekly and look at the state of the city right now? How is that going to attract a major league team in any sport?

    I think it hurts unfortunately, as perception is influential.

    Why would riots hurt their feelings? So are the blazers and timbers going to pack their bags and flee the riots?

    Yeah they were. Some heavy hitters in my crowd were doing pre jobs and were asking for logistics for both sites. They even started reserving tugs/barges and stocking steel. They don't do that unless they were in the discussion. Now "Running"? I honestly don't know? Portland has tried this before so i guess that always puts them in the running but that might not be serious contender? One thing is for certain Portland needs another large venue and it could do a bunch more than just baseball.

    Baseball looks at their options and there several. But they could throw a change up

    If Seattle can get a NHL team, then Portland should get a baseball team. Same, same...right?! :dunno:

    Portland needs an already existing stadium that was too small to keep an nba team and utilize that and convert it to a baseball stadium.

    Easy peasy
