What exactly do we need in a new arena that couldn't be added to the actual name of the arena?

    I have an idea...maybe they could gut the MC like they did Key Arena. That way, they could upgrade it, keep the building the same (or maybe secretly expand it) and the Winter Hawks could temporarily play at the Moda instead of there.
    I mean, Key Arena is 400x400, and the MC is 350x350 feet.

    They could make the bowl a lot bigger, deeper and expand the concourse too.

    Badda Bing badda boom, problem solved!

    Almost certainly! Unless maybe Portland makes that a condition?

    Mods, please remove "The Moda" from this thread title, and replace it with the actual name of the arena...

    You really think they would Land Back to Grand Ronde for a casino at the MC?? I don't think this will ever happen.

    So to answer the new question:
    Switch out the hardwood court for PDX carpet, it would give them a unique home court advantage.

    They used to call it The Glass Palace. But they hid the glass.

    I have A LOT of great memories in the MC. Concerts (including my first concert when I was 15 and I hitch hiked to Portland to see Santana and Eric Clapton). The Blazers. The Far West Classic. Hockey.

    TEAR IT DOWN!!

    My first concert…… 7th grade with my dad, Twisted Sister and Iron Maiden.
    Sophomore year in HS with my parents, Eddie Murphy Raw.
    Standing room only Blazers games with parents and neighbors!
    Oh, and of course the circus!

    Eddie Murphy Raw was considered to be very adult material back then.
