    Maybe DQ didn't want to do it again? I can think of at least 5 that have closed in the Portland area the last 10 years.

    I don't know anything about Blazer marketing but maybe their deal with McDonald's precludes doing a promotion like this with other fast food restaurants.

    Maybe the Blazers just want to get butts in seats.

    Idk about Blazers marketing, but they do have a team store online. If they couldn't find a sponsor, they could put some there. I still have 4 or 5 of the old ones, and would like some new ones. Willingness to pay isn't the issue. Access is.

    However, I am a HUGE fan of 2.2 and Blazervision. I think that's these are great services to the community.

    I'm not upset that I can't get it. I'm upset they tie it to going to a game. You already fuck us with the prices and the concessions, at least let something be for the fans and not about them gouging us or the need to gouge us just to get an item (I never go to any sport events solely for the giveaway. Fools do that).

    "And if they fuck you
    There will be no foreplay
    Rest assured
    They'll screw you complete
    Till your ass is blue and grey" (Make Yourself, Incubus)

    Over and over and over.

    When I was there for opening night they were selling 1 hotdog for $8 or 2 for $10.

    Tickets for the Blazer Glasses games start at $34.

    And if the Blazers score over 100 points you get free McNuggies.

    They're missing a trick not having Blazer Glasses be rose-colored...

    F = P(1+i)^N, so
    3500 = 70(1+i)^(2024-1988)
    50 = (1+i)^36
    i = 50^(1/36) - 1
    i = 11.5%

    So, the Paul Allen estate averaged 11.5% on their initial Blazers investment. That assumes they put all of the 47% of the salary cap each year (or whatever the owners get) back into the team. I have no idea if they did that. Also, 11.5% would be great for you and I, but I don't know whether it's great on such a large investment.

    The Googles seem a little off.

    Thank you for this detailed information. They look really nice.

    I might be going to those games alone so I'll see if my carpool dummy (no offense intended) can get me an extra glass.

    The level of entitlement in this forum is crazy. Proof here. Which is a bit surprising considering the ages of most of the regulars. This is the same as having a bobble head etc night like every sports franchise does.
