    It's a nice thought but there are so many hurdles in the way, maybe too many. I think the city will be used as a pawn to get Oakland a new stadium.

    Portland used as a pawn? Based on what past experiences do you draw upon to make this assumption!?

    Hypothetically, if it got that far.

    It's happened elsewhere (Seattle says hello to the Kings).

    I just can't see Portland with NFL before LA gets another team.

    We're being teased again.

    I'm a Raiders fan, but it'd be weird to take that team from Oakland or even LA. Not as bad as taking an NHL team from a Canadian or rust belt city though.

    It'd be sweet to have a large stadium in the metro area for concerts and other sporting events, and besides our NHL team will need a place to play for the Winter Classic.

    Not gonna happen anytime soon. The Raiders would be the LAST team I'd want here. They'll go to LA if they move anywhere. If we did ever get a team, the Seahawks would still be my #1!

    All of this is purely hypothetical. This group should take a look at the mlb2pdx group. They never really got off the ground.

    But for the sake of the convo, where would an ideal location be?

    Would the Pearl post office site be too small -- nearly 14 acres of land?

    They would probably change their name, something like the platypuses (platopi?)

    There is no way that they could change the name. As a Raider fan, I'd buy 4 season tickets for the family. Sorry Ducks, but this would be right in my backyard.
