    Despite the early struggles I managed to book a road trip to the US with Portland as the landing spot (had to). It's my second time in Portland after 2010. A lot must have changed in between. I will be around early february (7-10) with the game against Boston as the highlight. The 7 in the evening I will try to watch the game against Dallas somewhere.

    I need tips from you:
    - Easiest way to get to tickets.
    - Which part of the city should I sleep.
    - Where to watch Blazers game in town.
    - Any other tip will be appreciated.

    Thanks a lot.

    If you're going by yourself it would be easy to upgrade tickets. You could get 100 level baseline for about $40.

    Message me if you're interested I'll give you the rundown on how to do that.

    Is it just you or are you traveling with someone?

    We do have a Skybox for the Boston game. If you want to sit with others from the forum I can save you a seat.

    Really? If I was coming from out of the country I'd want to sit in the 100 level vs being up in the 300 level. But if he wants a seat with us he can have one.

    You don't have a seat in a skybox for the Boston game.

    Great. Thank you. I will write to you when I choose which solution I will chose


    Appreciate the proposition. One question: How good is the view from the skybox?

    Stay at the Ace Hotel but get a room with a private bathroom (some have communal bathrooms/showers which is kinda annoying). Its a very dorm/hipster feel but kind of fun. Good area to be in too, right near the Pearl District and Downtown. Walk a few blocks and you can take MAX to the game.

    The Nines is also dope, a little more luxury. Big fan of the Hotel Monaco too. If your on a budget, the Paramount is not too bad neither is Courtyard Marriott City Center.

    I'd suggest staying here: http://hoteleastlund.com/

    Very close to the Rose Garden, right on major public transportation routes, good access to the entire city. Unfortunately there's not a lot of good restaurants nearby, but again - you're centrally located so it's not too far in any direction to good food.

    I haven't been yet, but at some point I plan on checking out a game here: http://centurybarpdx.com/

    This is another good suggestion.

    Oh, the Jupiter Hotel is another centrally located hotel, close enough to the Rose Garden, better walking access to bars/restaurants than Eastlund, kinda "hipstery" like Ace Hotel.

    Its very European.

    Has a "living room" with couches for you to hang out in all day. You can borrow their Bikes to bike around Portland. There's a Stumptown Coffee connected to it as well as a bar/restaurant/etc. Like a block from Powells books too.
