    Cheek said. “Now we can say Portland will have professional baseball in the heart of the city, along one of Oregon’s most iconic rivers.”


    Oh so now it’s guaranteed? Why would he say this lol

    It's only fair. Since many Portland sports fans are wet blankets.

    They could incorporate copper into the logo that way.

    I'd guess the city leaders kinda realize how certain policies, while good at one time, have stifled things and stunted Portlands growth.

    As much as I hate to say it, the urban growth boundary has outlived it's usefulness.

    Why in the world would a baseball stadium need to build higher that 460 ft? Some of the Condo Towers in South Waterfront are in the 30o ft range - how could a stadium be higher that a Condo Tower?

    Maybe they'll put a high rise in the stadium? It could be like the Sky Dome, where you can have a condo over looking the field.

    Then the Diamond Project must have submitted some kind of preliminary plans that include a tower?

    Maybe a restaurant tower looking over the field?

    Not sure there would be any reason to have a tower involved with the stadium (tho I do think it would be cool to have some kind of a version of the space needle here).

    Call it the Rose Tower, or something.
