    Wait what?? 6% black is a problem. MLB is missing out on some market share.

    MLB will never come to Portland. To think otherwise is insanity.

    Yeah, the extra "no" is what makes mine funny and the lack of an extra "no" just makes your pedantic.

    I think that my post was emphatic. It slammed the door on BGD.

    Then again, it's possible that Dviss has you on ignore :devilwink:

    No, he commented on my second post about how I thought it was impossible to suggest a name worse than "Lumberjacks".

    SO WHATS YOUR EXCUSE NOW, MR B? QUIT STEALING MY THUNDER!

    I think the extra no is slightly too much.

    I disagree, the extra no shows just how bad the suggestion was.

    Where do people park for Blazer or Timbers games? Baseball stadiums are simply not built surrounded by parking lots any more. That is why you put the stadium on a transit hub. You park out at the park and rides or other parking garages throughout the city and ride the train/bus to the stadium. You hardly see any traffic after a timbers game is over and there is literally zero parking by the stadium that currently holds 22k+ and is expanding.

    Also, the MC is a possibility. The PPS site just behind the rose quarter used to be a possibility although I am not certain if that has changed. Both are city owned.

    This is where it should be. Makes the most sense IMHO.

    Portland Roasters (Brewers is taken) and it has double meaning... For the Stadium to fit the Portland landscape it needs a blue tarp roof.

    How much room can be had by taking down the MC though? Because baseball stadium are freaking huge, they seem to need more space than any other sport.

    Lumberjax were our Lacrosse team if I remember correctly.

    The obvious name for a baseball team would be Portland Reign.
