...I think you should move from Oregon to Texas with this type of blasphemy -- oh wait, you already did!
One thing to remember is part of the Timbers (charade) deal was the diversion of all spectator funds to back toward paying off the Civic stadium outstanding debt of about 36 million. Venues that used to receive this portion of the ticket sales saw it disappear even though their patrons still will pay it up to 2030, I think. This includes all events at Rose Garden and other entertainment venues in town. This may barely be chump change in the world of Paul Allen, but that little annoyance probably didn't thrill him. I'd guess that the naming rights being sold to Moda Health was a move to help balance out the Spectator fund loss. (I'm probably a bit off on the $# and year, but thats the gist of it)
Just saying it's older. But frankly the idea that somehow a stadium is a memorial to veterans seems silly. Nothing against veterans. But it's a stadium, not a memorial. barfo
