    We're being used as a stalking horse.

    The negative line is Portland is being used to leverage a stadium and to push other cities to sweeten the deal. But that last story seems to cover some of that. And really who cares if Portland is being used in this deal? There is no proposed bond up for special election to get us to pony up more money.
    The "Stalking Horse" statement has no real merit at this point. Worst case scenario is Portland doesn't get a team. Best case scenario is Portland gets another Major league team. Whether he likes or will watch any of the games is kind of irrelevant. There will be those that do and it continues to expand this city's horizon.

    No singular names. The Thunder/Jazz/Heat/Magic is awful.

    Not gonna happen. It’s been reported that it can’t happen until 2022 at the earliest. They also under-bid on the potential property owned by PPS. There’s no way this thing works.

    Curious what you were posting on here back in ‘66 when there was a thread about how an NBA team might be coming to PDX?

    They put in a bid on a property in NW, but only two so far to my knowledge.

    Under-bid? It's called an offer and there would be negotiations. They also offered to purchase land for a new headquarters for PPS. They also have sites outside the downtown area that they would consider if they have to.

    This is not something you can just write off like previous attempts.

    Even if this group ends up with land and no team, they can just develop the land.

    Adding housing is going to be tricky.

    Re-zoning the NW site would be a nightmare to negotiate.

    Beautiful night in Portland for baseball. Fun night at the ballpark watching the Stros and relaxing with a couple of beers and whatnot.

    That looks like a stadium you see built for the Olympics.


    That's not meant as a compliment.
