    With the new Brazlian Fan becomigna member, Im curious. How far does Blazer Fandom Reach?
    Please post where you are from and how long you have been a Blazer fan.

    Thought this might be a fun visual list to see just how far this Forum reaches. :) I already know we have out of staters and some Euro fans.

    Are you a Blazer fan?
    Where are you from???

    Born overseas in Germany but grew up in Portland. And yes, I do secretly pull for Dirk and Dennis Schroder, but not against us.

    Born in Portland. Watched the team as a kid in the 80s. Didn't really fall in love with the team until the mid 90s though. I felt like the Drexler/Porter/Kersey team was my dads. I got really invested in the Sheed/Kenny Anderson/Rider/Brian Grant team when I was in high school, and then my love for the team grew from there.

    Born and raised in Portland. Parents had season ticket in the 70s. First Blazer memories were my neighborhood going crazy over the championship when I was in kindergarten.

    Oh Wow!

    Maybe I should ad for people to please add whether you were ever from here if you now reside elsewhere.

    Mostly Im wondering how many people were not born from here but still became Blazers fans. Pretty incredible honestly... Stories like Brazilian Fan.

    Born in Portland. The first Blazer game I attended (against the Bucks) the Blazer starting 5 was Adelman/Petrie/Barnett/Gregor/Ellis. Bucks line-up was Jabbar/Dandridge/Smith/Robertson/ Allen.

    No - I don't remember where I left my car keys, or if I am wearing underwear - but I remember the first season of Blazermania.

    Man, I was pumped when we got him and Kelvin Cato. Just thought they were going to be good for us. I guess they did get us Damon Stoudamire right? I don't remember.

    Was he the one who looked like Eddie Murphy, or was that Aaron McKie?

    Quick google search and it was Aaron.

    (in before someone makes the obvious joke)

    Grew up in Milwaukie/Clackamas, and moved to Reno, NV, in 1990 for college and ended up staying. Been a Blazer fan since I can remember back in the mid 70s.
