    You guys are silly. The Blazers are going nowhere. Paul Allen built that stadium and he will build another. We just need Seattle to get a team 1st. ;)

    Paul isn't really in the best health overall. Do you think he'll be alive in 20-30 years?

    I hate to say it but ther re is no way Silver would allow the NBA to lose the Portland market. It is just to important a team. This is directly in opposition to what the town does to keep the team.

    I'd take a professional racquetball team over a football team. Worst sport in the world. I hate football.

    It costs money for racquetball. It would never go through.

    People were probably saying the same thing about the Sonics before they left.

    Paul ain't gonna die unless somebody kills him. He's got too much $$.

    You're in the minority there brotha. Football is the most watched sport in the nation. I don't see that changing anytime soon. Almost every person I know would love a Football team here.

    Even the Raider fans are saying if they have to leave they'd prefer them to stay on the West Coast in Portland. Hasn't that area stolen enough teams like the Sonics? Let us steal a team.

    A football team generates activity 8 days a year. A baseball team brings the area around it to life 81 days a year. Plus it offsets the basketball season beautifully.

    A baseball team in Portland would be phenomenal.

    30 years it'll be gone. Parents already having kids play other sports. Can't wait till it's gone and people realize what a moronic sport it really is. :)

    (can you tell my disdain yet?)

    Fair enough. But how much would a new stadium generate? You can have more than just football games there.

    What non-football activities would a football stadium facilitate that a baseball stadium would not?
