    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">PORTLAND, Ore. -- The company that owns the Rose Garden arena, home of the Portland Trail Blazers NBA franchise, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Friday.

    Oregon Arena Corp., whose sole shareholder is Paul Allen, the world's fifth-richest man, has lost $20 million over the past nine years and was headed toward a default on interest payments due Monday.

    Allen also owns the Trail Blazers team as a separate company that will not be part of the bankruptcy, said Oregon Arena Corp. President Steve Patterson.</div>
