    Sure, if you want to be a modern hipster. In my day we called it Multnomah field.

    Man, I wish I woulda spent $500 for a ticket to sit out in the wind and rain drinking an $11 bud light surrounding by drunken assholes instead of watching the game in my warm living room on my huge TV drinking my own pepper-infused vodka bloody mary.
    Boy I feel dumb.

    Maybe they'll find some reruns of the Kemper Open for us to watch.

    That was the Timbers 2.0. The original Timbers were formed in 1975. They were put together in a matter of weeks from teams all over England. Most of the guys had never met each other until they hooked up in Portland. My then fiancé (now wife) and I were among the roughly 6000 people at the first game (though there are about 25000 people who make the same claim today) in weather not a whole lot different than today. They lost, but Portland’s reputation as Soccer City started that night. And for several years, Multnomah/Civic/PGE/Whatever It Is This Decade Park was jam packed (up to 32000 people with temporary bleachers installed) for every game for several years. The stadium was an incredibly rockin’ place during that time. The NASL was a big deal before it all fizzled out. But the original Timbers made the very first Soccer Bowl (where they lost unfortunately)……but it made for a kick ass road trip. Amazing how many fellow Timbers fans we saw on the way down. But it was a huge deal, especially since it was two years before the Blazers won the title. And it put little Portland on the map, soccer wise. The Winterhawks are amateurs. The old Timbers were some of the best soccer players in the entire world.

    Okay i promise I’ll flick back and forth between this game and the South Dakota St vs Villanova FCS Quarterfinals.

    Will someone let me know if the Timbers get at least close to putting the ball in the net
