    WTF does an Indian casino have to do with baseball?

    A deal with the city would have allowed them (Grand Ronde) to build a casino near the city in exchange for the $350 million grant. Or something along those lines, it was a long time ago.

    But this deal was made pre-recession so who knows if they can even offer that much money anymore.

    **edit**

    Ah, it's like the turning of the leaves...

    I'd love a baseball team to be in Portland (real baseball, not AAA or AA or A ball).

    But I might as well be yelling at a brick wall here.

    Oh god, there's NO place to park there. Where would they put parking or is everyone supposed to ride their bikes to the ball park?

    Wish it would happen, but it won't.

    We're stuck with a women's sport instead

    I don't think hockey is a woman's only sport, although I could be wrong

    What about just north of Lovejoy? Looks like they could make something work there. Isn't that the old Monkey Wards buidling?

    Maybe there were two, but Monkey's is about 20 blocks west and 8 blocks north. Just north of the PO site is former railyards, as far as I know.

    82 days would be a TON to fill a stadium around here. Especially when it rains til July 1st. Football would be a lot easier with only what, 10 a year?

    Portland is too small thinking to make this happen. It's too bad too because baseball would do very well in Portland if done right.
