    Didn't you see they're trying to get a Japanese company to buy a team, i'd sure they'd love to foot the bill on a stadium too!

    Seriously though, get a local tribe to do it.

    There are enough people in the city of Portland that made it so we couldn't dare touch the Memorial Dumpiseum, so I have no confidence that they'd allow a local tribe to have anything to do with it. Unless they added a bike lane in the outfield.

    I really hate that they think the MC is a historical building. We're not talking about something from the 1800's.... It's an old piece of shit. Yes there are some good memories, but it's a huge waste of space.

    Yeah, I could understand if it was unique in it's design (it does have neat features), but it's not like it was built in during the WPA or was really ornate. It's a box.

    Can't have us dirty indians owning anything anyway, we'd probably put a casino next to it.

    It's ugly... at this point about the only thing you could do is completely renovate the interior and turn it into something else.

    It's an obsolete building.

    If Yankee stadium can be torn down.....

    There's kind of already a modern building that could house an NHL team you know.

    the NHL would never put a team in the MC. It's too small, and would be a money pit.
