    Quickly looked at a few footprints of a few NFL stadiums and this site seems like it'd be a solid candidate.

    The new LA stadium is being built on 15 acres.

    Portland's leadership would never go for it. They need more bike paths. A joint venture by Tualatin and West Linn off of 205 would work for a stadium, as well as a new commercial area. It's a dead zone right now.

    I say this every time, but get an Indian Tribe to fund it.

    I like the NFL more, but a MLB team would be >>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Imagine going to a game during the summer months

    warm nights, beer, baseball tickets are relatively cheap compared to the NFL and NBA, relaxing environment

    I want it so bad

    Looking at the Lloyd Dist. masterplan, I think the P.O. site is perfect for many reasons - the area directly north of the RQ is being zoned as a future "parking district" directly across the broadway bridge from the site.

    Btw, OKC is also interested.

    Their metro is half the size of Portland.

    That's insulting.

    I highly doubt they'd move there.

    A landlocked Raider would be pretty ineffective.
