    Someone from the Blazers has probably been monitoring this thread and now they're in a panic over the what they may have unleashed......maybe beefing up security.....

    I'm happy for all y'all that get to do meet and greets and what not, maybe something for the out if towners too? Not sure what would work besides free swag.

    Sly? I don't know if this might be crossing the line, but how about bringing up The Blazers being in bed with Comcast and allowing a legal monopoly on the broadcasting of their games? Allowing Comcast Sports NW to be the sole channel to broadcast over 50% of the games creates a legal monopoly in that all Blazers fans must subscribe to Comcast instead of going with Dish or Direct TV?
    Honestly, if I would want anything, I would want the Blazers to know how disappointing this is to their fans that we must subscribe to ONLY Comcast in order to view the games. Any chance of fitting that into the convo somewhere and I would be very thankful. If not, I understand. :)

    And then after that is when you take the bat to the horse.

    I think the team has been well aware of fans displeasure with Comcast for a while, but until the contract is up there is literally nothing that can be done.

    Okay, cool. Just don't see much talk about it on here and don't know of other avenues of which fans have voiced their displeasure (Not saying there aren't any others) other than writing the team personally.

    Does anyone know when the contract ends?

    You can watch Comcast Nw on PlayStation vue or frontier Fios tv.

    You can blame dish and directv for not coming to an agreement too amirite? Frontier did

    In essence 600 buys you 200 advertisement banners or for less than that you just fish for a Blazer fan with a silk screen or digital printing skill and buy blank T shirts.
    The local library where I live spends a few hundred bucks and has literally thousands of their logos handed out in prizes for kids from preschool to teens for reading achievements. One could just add the pinwheel in the logo and talk to McGowan about footing the bill.

    I'll bet the Blazers could print up anything...they made the re2turn practice jerseys after Wes got injured.
