    Canzano is saying the A's are coming to Portland to check out relocation.

    It's fun being used for leverage every time a team wants a stadium or is negotiating with another city.

    My optimism was crushed when we didn't get the Portland Expos.

    How many honestly care about baseball?
    It's boring to play, and worse to watch.

    Yeah, I agree, but once again MLB won't expand until the A's and Rays situations are resolved so leverage away in my opinion.

    To me, it's by far the best sport to go to live and enjoy a nice day.

    The Diamond project doesn't want a team with ownership to move here though, right? They want to own a team, at least that was my understanding.

    I think they’ll be happy to also invest in the stadium and surrounding development

    If you are a fan of a team, going to a MLB game, eating/drinking, sitting in the sun, the sounds, all of it, is as good as it gets. Grew up going to A's games with Rickey, Canseco, Dave Stewart, Eckersley, etc., in the Oakland Coliseum. Jump on BART with my friends in HS, go to a game, come back home with a sunburn and memories. Best days ever. If PDX can get that, its a gamechanger for this area.

    Grew up in Chicago going to baseball games all summer ad well.
    Seems to me, all my friends not from portland grew up with baseball and want a team. And the few that grew up here couldn't care less.

    I just want something different. I don't care if it's baseball, hockey, whatever. I'm tired of the NBA and it's corporate bullshit.

    If we had a team I'd pay more attention to the everyday MLB.

    Do people even read the articles or statements by the PDP? They have stated from the start and multiple times they are prepared for both options: stadium only or stadium and ownership...

    Yep, that's all it is. Same thing happened when the Penguins were going to move to Portland, and the Coyotes, and the Expos.

    As much as I feel it would work here, it'll never happen.
