    I think the announcements have been on a perpetual "25-45" day holding pattern.

    Seriously, they have to realize how much this is starting to sound like absolute horse shit, right?

    It does kinda, but I hope you're wrong.

    I heard it was a lot more complicated than people would think. Instead of just buying the land what happens is they agree in principle but can back out if they don't find a way for everything else to work out. So right now they are probably busy trying to get things like roads to and from the stadium and all the other infrastructure needed approved from the city. Getting a team is still most likely at least 5 years out anyway so as bad as it sucks to wait I think it's going to require a little patience. If this is just some elaborate real estate deal with little to no intentions of bringing baseball here I would be fucking livid though.

    Haha these ppl are liars huh lol

    Something must have happened where things took a huge step back. For Barrett to say back in early July 4-6 weeks something must have occurred that has them stuck

    I'm pretty sure the whole time they've made it very clear that there is no specific timeline and that those things you are saying they lied about were simply things people like Barrett said when they hope to have an announcement.

    These kind of deals can't be rushed and there are thousands of parts that all have to come together. They also can't force people to sell their land.

    I would still prefer an NHL team but I think any chance of that ended with PA passing unfortunately.

    I've been a believer, but I'm starting to get a little cynical. A little.

    The Winter Hawks owners bought a bunch of NHL to Portland related domain names a while back. Who knows what that really means. Maybe they were planning on selling them to Paul Allen some day? I'd love to see an NHL team come to Portland, but I'd prefer baseball.
