As a Mariners fan living just outside Seattle, I would love for Portland to get a MLB expansion team, especially if they were in the AL West!
Provides a local rivalry and maybe they would actually be a competent well-run team so we could finally bring a World Series to the PNW!
Sadly, I don't see it happening within the next 20 years. I don't think Portland is at the top of the list for potential expansion team locations.
Exciting stuff. I still think its unlikely Portland gets a team in the next ~8 years, but damn do they deserve it.
This can be the new I-5 rivalry between Seattle and Portland in the MLB
Nice video Connor. Found this in my feed. As a former Oakland A's fan, I would LOVE to see this happen.
Play ball!!!! This is an amazing location.
This is by far and away the best location they've proposed so far. Right in the heart of everything, plenty of transportation connections, and iconic views – this really has it all.
Why do I get the feeling that even if Portland gets a team in 10 or 15 years, they would still win a World Series before the cursed Mariners do?!
The fact that it's near a MAX station is great. It gives people a much better way to get to the games.
Oh and one last thought from me: If there were to be a Portland expansion team, that would provide the perfect opportunity to put them in the AL West and move the Trashtros back to the NL Central where they belong!
I can dream can't I LOL!
Can the lot even hold a baseball stadium?!?!?!? Where are the parking spots going to be?!?!?
Would love it! Summer baseball in Portland would be amazing!
MLB expanding makes no sense. White Sox 39-120, Angels 63-96, A’s 69-90, Marlins 59-100, Nationals 69-100, Rockies 61-98. Seems like the MLB needs more a move to becoming smaller like 20 teams
Would love if it happened, but we'll never pass public funding for it sadly I think that edges us out. Great video!
That area can't hold a baseball stadium. Get real.
Certainly rain delays won't be an issue.
Definitely interesting. If this came to fruition, I wonder how they would jumble the divisions. AL or NL, wonder what teams would move where.
The stadium fits perfect on the north section and they plan to integrate the Ross Island bridge into the stadium itself. They’re also adding restaurants, apartments and parking structures to the south end. Those partnered with the foot bridge leading to the new OMSI District and public transit stationed right next to it makes this is the perfect location. Very exciting stuff
