    Getting the city to approve funding/plans would be tough.

    Portland's only real hope is if Phil Knight gets involved.

    The only way this is happening is if somehow Phil Knight gets to own part of the team AND the people don't have to pay for a stadium.

    Also, having the games in Eugene won't be horrible, since it's 8 games (+ preseason) and usually morning. So it's not like they'd be returning to Portland at 10 or 10:30 at night.

    Having the stadium by the RG would be a mistake. not near enough parking and it would just create a huge parking nightmare.

    There's not enough (decent) parking for the Blazers and their capacity isn't even 20K. A 50K or so facility for football would be worse. The only way it makes sense is if the MC is (finally) torn down and made into parking.

    But since it's not going to happen, I'm not sure why I just wasted my time thinking about this.

    Or you just don't schedule NBA and NFL games at the same time, combining that 20K with another 30K.

    Phil Knight already owns a football team.

    If that's the case, he needs to fire the coach and the GM.
