I park near Lloyd Center too, then walk to the RG. Not a tough walk by any stretch. I'm torn on the whole fareless square thing... on one hand, the only people who used it frequently were transients, so in that respect not having to smell them is ostensibly nice, but on the other hand that means that the only people TriMet can ticket are already broke and homeless, which doesn't do them much good. I take Tri-Met every day to work (two busses and a max ride from SE to Nike). Even if tickets or monthly passes (which I use) doubled in price, it'd be cheap compared to gas ($200/month), insurance ($100/month), and a car payment ($250/month) for a second car. So I'm not down on them for raising prices. Anyway... it's a complicated thing.
I park on 3rd and Morrison in the SmartPark for $5, grab some dinner at BWW, and then walk to Yamhill and 2nd and take the Max to the game. It will still be cheaper, though. Isn't a 4 hour one-zone pass less than $2 still?
Of all the great places to eat dinner in downtown Portland before a game you choose Buffalo Wild Wings?
It's not awful. There are just better places available? It's like going to the coast and eating at Skippers.
ate at Rock Bottom for the first time ever after a Timbers game this year. 2 AM Burger was quite good.
I probably wouldn't eat at Buffalo Wild Wings. maybe grab a beer if there are sluts at the bar, but that's about it.
yeah, I'm not a big fan normally, though I feel like their happy hour prices on some stuff is pretty decent, so not a terrible place to stop before the game I suppose.
