One of the most popular venues for sports and concerts in PDX. I've been to NBA games and concerts here, and had a great time on both occasions. Well managed, and good crowd control are the top draws. The accoustics (for concerts) are great and seating is decent. Only thing I will say is DO NOT drive to the center, parking is a nightmare. Take the MAX which is very convenient and save yourself time and worry. read more

Hey get out there and cheer on our Blazers. They are a great team and the tickets are not too pricey. Even the nose bleed seats are OK. Just do it! Portlandia aside, we DO have the best Basketball Stadium and Best Airport in the USA. Check it out. read more

Moda Center - Rip City baby! Blazers win in OT!!!!!!!! - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This was the weakest courtside experience I have ever experienced. Not needing a wristband was a red flag right there. When you are paying a good bit for seats, usually at least water and soda is included. Not here. You have to pay for everything. I am not clear on what the benefit to courtside is except for having access to a "nicer" dinner underneath that is not free and occasionally seeing the players as you are looking around everyone else if you are not in row 1. Compared to other arenas, it was cheaper but you get what you pay for - a whole lot of nothing. They also need to do some serious upgrades to the arena. read more

Treat the ADA customers horrible. Water in line for over an hour cause they opened the doors over 4 min late and did nothing about it or assist with anyone and their discomforts and/or needs. When we asked the employees at the door we're very rude and just didn't care read more

Not a loyal fan of the Blazers but a fan of basketball! Was in the neighborhood and decided to catch a game against the Rockets, game 3. And what a fine game it was! Moda Center is not too far from downtown - can take their local subway or take a cab. The minute we were dropped off, you can feel the excitement amongst the crowd! The center itself wasn't that impressive;a little dated, but fairly organized. Seemed like it was the same size as the Oracle Arena in the bay area. However, the ceremony before the game was quite impressive! Always a good way to start a vacation by attending a local sporting event! Absolute highlight of my trip! read more

I was accosted by police or staff. I was taken from the ladies room and met by three men they took me upstairs to a room and questioned about shit I have no info on. I was there for at least 45-60 minutes. My husband was worried. Not aloud to use my phone. Only allowed to leave when I asked if I was under arrest. Asked for lawyer. They allowed me to leave. I thought I would get kicked out, but they walked me down the stairs and left. Just led me into the lobby. And I found Nate. Why did they do that? I was treated horribly. I felt they wouldn't listen. They took my phone and I couldn't reach my husband. Wtf! I'm gunna go back and find those Fuchs read more

Awesome arena with great views even from the very back top row. Our noses were bleeding just a little bit, but still had a great view for an historic Trailblazers win! The area is clean and there are tons of great food options from local vendors. Plenty of great drinks options too. Had a blast at my first Blazers game. As with any big sporting event, its probably better to rideshare to the arena rather than drive to/park. The traffic in/out of the arena for the game was horrendous. But other than that, such a cool spot! read more

Moda Center - Section 326 Row P - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Extremely impressed with Moda Center. One of the nicest arenas I've been to for an NBA game. The food looks exquisite. We ate before, but had we known there are lots of good food options, we may have just eaten there. The seats are comfy and the stadium is very clean. read more

I am throughly impressed with the service I got at Moda Center. I have health issues with walking and leg issues with multiple infections, and lymphedema moda center wheelchaired me to my seat, when seat was not good for me got me a different seat and wheelchaired me back to my car. I was thoughly impressed with Moda Centet when I saw pink I brought pink tickets from a scam site I didn't know it was a fake ticket site and a few others brought the tickets from the same site. Well Moda Center exchanged the tickets for real tickets and got sky box seats and still got my money back for scam tickets so basically got a free concert and pink was Amazing!!! Moda Center has accomodated me with Gabriel Iglesias and Fluffy and Jeff Dunham. One worker wheelchaired me to the right parking garage when I couldn't find my car for Jeff Dunham. One time my seat was like in 300 level and I was trying to do the stairs and had trouble. They got a wheelchair for me and wheelchaired me to a floor seat for Gabriel Fluffy. They always accomodate me and always impressed with their service. read more

there was a huge snowstorm in Portland today, and a state of emergency was declared in the area. However, this venue did not cancel their events until just a couple hours beforehand. This was extremely inconvenient for everyone. I was halfway to Portland from Seattle when I finally got the email the event was postponed. Do better. read more

OMG! The Moda Center has lost it!! Was at the Andrea Bocelli concert. A new requirement -- no bags, including purses unless clutch side. Apparently, they failed to notify the attendees. The lines to check bags were immense with only two stations active for bag checks. AND, once ready to enter venue, one had to go through vaccination check AGAIN!. The concert was delayed by 30 minutes and still it took at least another 30 minutes to seat the crowd. In the meantime people had changed seats to fill in the no-shows. So, you can imagine the chaos of people coming in and out of seats for that period of time. Masks required, yet once seated some took off masks without anyone checking. Also, there were cell phone lights all over the venue. Flash photography isn't allowed, but who's to control? Certainly not the ushers. This was a disaster. After charging premium prices for tickets, the Moda Center should be apologizing all over the place. I haven't heard any apologies. Hopefully, they can get their act together. I know the pandemic has changed a lot, but we were told that the policy was changed because of the pandemic. How is a purse related to the pandemic?! Shame on you Moda Center management!!! read more

I've been to the Moda Center twice, both for Winterhawks games. I've been going to sports games since I was an infant (I went to the inaugural Anaheim Ducks game in 1993,) so I've always liked big arenas like this. Yeah, I know I'm lame, but I also unabashedly enjoy watching sports. At both of the games I have attended, the crowds were nowhere near as bad as I thought they would be. I would say that only about half of the arena was taken up. The food selection is excellent; there are several vendors that are outposts of local businesses, such as Sizzle Pie and Fire on the Mountain. Prices are higher than their brick and mortar stores, and the beer is way marked up ($12 for a 20oz craft beer. Domestics are cheaper. I've heard rumors there is a place on the 300 level that has $4 12oz cans of Hamms but the whole level was closed when I was there.) Angel Stadium in Anaheim actually had cheaper beer, which was a complete shock. The experience of checking in was painless and even the security people were friendly. Nothing bad to report on there. I'll probably be spending more time here; watching both Winterhawks and Trailblazer games. read more

Went to see Blake Shelton - Portland, OR, the other night and had 4 beers at the show, I was sitting in my chair minding my own business not being rude or disrespectful whatsoever when 2 security guards came up to me and told me I had to leave. As they were escorting me outside I asked what I did they responded with "you are not allowed to be drunk at the moda center" which I responded "if you dont want drunk people at a concert then why sell beer" (we were out on the street waiting for my uber at this time) and then the guy tells me "maybe idiots like you should handle their alcohol better" well that wasn't a very nice thing to say to me. So then I called him names and told him how I really felt, I was nice up until the guy started running his mouth, I feel like I got robbed of my seat, I would understand if I was being rude or disrespectful or falling over a million different reason then yeah kick me out! But no I was sitting in my seat minding my own damn business that I paid a LOT of money for and I got the boot! I'm so mad about this even more mad that I only got to see 2 songs and I was all the way up front! read more

Been here for 3 blazers games and had a blast!! I usually get the blackberry pear cider at the crispen stand as well as the bag of popcorn. So delicious!! Best I've ever had so far I would even say.

Moda Center - NBA Trail blazzers vs Nuggets - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Portland, Oregon

See all

My friends and I took a trip to the Pacific Northwest, and one of the most anticipated items on our itinerary was the Lakers-Trailblazers game. There are many great things about Portland - the coffee, the people, the glorious zero % sales tax - but the most fun thing we did was attend this game. For the price of nosebleeds at Staples Center, where you can practically high-five the wall at the back, we got decent seats at the end of the first section at the Moda Center! Granted, there are championship taxes for Lakers games, but there should be "rebuilding" discounts or something... The stadium itself is smaller than Staples Center, housing only two levels and some 19,000 seats. However, the compact size kind of creates a very homey atmosphere, where the reverberating chants and cheers emphasize the same level of passion that Staples Center does. These "small" market teams create little traditions that we wouldn't see in Los Angeles. For example, the Blazers do this "pass the game ball" down from the top level to courtside that we would never see at Staples. One by one, fans of a certain row - well, I guess column - would touch the basketball and pass it to the person in front until it eventually reaches the on-court referee. Pretty cool! (*If the Lakers do do this, I wouldn't know. Parking and traffic rarely allowed me to get there in time for tip-off anyways.) It is a fact of life that Laker fans are present in every stadium. It's as true as death and taxes. The Moda Center was no exception. I would say a good quarter of the stadium were donning the purple and gold at this game, but the vast majority housed the home's red and black. It was the first time my friends and I were at an "away" stadium, cheering on our home team. We expected some hostility, at least some bitter sneers and indignation. There was even a certain point where I was kind of paying to see those kind of reactions. But while there were many stares, and puzzled looks, Blazer fans were very accepting and welcoming. The staff and vendors throughout the stadium would joke about treating us as second-class citizens, but they were as friendly to us as they were to their own fans. Speaking of which, one of my friends and I split these pulled pork nachos, which were BOMB! Would they still be as bomb if the Lakers were down at half-time? Great question! But regardless, the lines for food and drinks aren't as atrocious as the mobs at Staples Center. There seems to be SOME sort of queue, and lines moved much quicker than the LA quicksand. Since this is a review through the perspective of a visiting team's fans, I have to add a note about the Portland fans. While I can't say for the entirety of the stadium, the Blazer fans around us were very tolerant of our heckling and booing! It was the first time we got to be the patented "obnoxious Laker fans," and boy was it fun! The entire experience was easily top 10-15 of my life, and before you say it, my life isn't as sad as that probably sounds. And in case some of you may question any bias on this review based on a Lakers win, I am writing this after the Lakers blew an 11 point half-time lead. Evan freaking Turner went 1-8 in the first half with a handful of turnovers, which prompted my friends and I to chanting "WE WANT TURNER!" after Stotts pulled him out. Unfortunately, Turner went all Kobe on us in the 4th quarter, dropping 12 straight points, so we got the unfamiliar "BEAT LA" chants rained down upon us. While it wasn't fun to be on the losing side, that experience - touched only through the second-hand viewing of the television from Southern California - was surreal! The Blazer fans around us returned the jesting trash talking, but it was all in good fun. Do note that the first lobby after you enter through the bag check line shields NONE of the cold from the outside. The constant opening and closing of doors from flooding fans either lets out all of the heat, or invites the cold air to come in. Oh, and parking is as big of a nightmare around there as it is in LA. One wrong turn and you somehow find yourself on a bridge driving AWAY from the stadium. Maybe it should be corrected to: death, taxes, Laker fans, and stadium parking struggles. read more

First time visiting this arena and loved it. I like the environment and vibe of the fans and workers at the arena. The tator tots were bomb.

This is a dope arena and you should check it out! read more

Bought a 15$ cheesesteak and it was the worst sandwich I've had in my life. I had gristle, there was 95% bread, a sprinkling of peppers, barely any cheese, and the meat was blah. I don't know why i expected anything different from stadium food, but for 15$ this was straight garbage. Don't get the Philly (Philadelphia for the SEO) here. It's bad. Also, some reviews say to get brisket at the BBQ spot here, I was told that doesn't exist. Cell service is non existent. How in the world does a modern city not have cell service at a sporting event? I couldn't connect to WiFi either. It's basically impossible to look up anything. I've been to a dozen stadiums and arenas across the continent and this is one of the worst. This arena blows. read more

I'm reviewing the Lemonade concession stand here. I ordered a vodka lemonade. I should of been able to tell that I'd ordered a vodka lemonade but I definitely could not. Fairly certain that vodka bottle they used to make my drink had water in it. Just fyi. Don't be duped like me. read more

My favorite stadium is the New Orleans Smoothie King Center because of how much value you get out of a ticket. Moda center is the inbetween of Smoothie king and Staple Center in LA. You get a lot of value in the ticket. I was able to see the Trailblazers play against the Boston Celtics. It was pretty awesome. Being in the 200 tier, you're available food and items that are not available in the 100 level, which is odd, but still cool. There's an option to getting food delivered to you via the trailblazer app as well, which is pretty awesome. They don't offer everything, but it is a cool option. The cleanliness in the arena is really good. They know how to upkeep this place. I can go as far as to comparing uncleanliness from going to the Great Western Forum and Qualcomm stadium. Even in the Dodger stadium back then wasn't that great. Overall this arena is fun and has a strong fandom for the city. I would gladly watch here. Thanks for the time! read more

This is a great venu for watching basketball games! We bought tickets for a big tournament and ended up in the club-level seating. Seats are about as comfortable as you can expect at a large arena. If you get the chance I'd highly recommend getting the club level seating! My biggest issue is the price of the concessions. A fountain drink is between 7 and $9! Burgers are 12 to $15. I'd recommend eating before you show up! read more

I will confess and will come out clean. This may also sound hardcore. But the real reason I went to Portland Oregon is to watch a Portland Trailblazer game who is hosting my Golden State Warriors. I bought the tickets back in September for relatively cheap and then later skyrocketed dramatically within weeks of the game. From the outside, there is a plaza with businesses and restaurants including the Widmer Brewing Company. Moda Center is located within a few blocks of the convention Center and light rail stops right across the street from the arena. Also my hotel is down the hill and walking distance to the arena, which is very conveniently. You can tell I heavily did the research on my trip. Inside the arena, there are three levels (main, mezzanine and upper-level). Walking around the arena is more ample and spacious then cramp Oracle arena. For food, there are your usual hot dog and beer vendors. Also there are Bunk's Sandwiches and Killer Burger's, both popular Portland's eateries. The only thing I bought at the game is a bottle of coke for $6.00. Inside the seating area, the ushers were very nice in allowing me to see up close Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors practice and shoot-around. I was surrounded by thousands of Warrior fans at this game. I have also seen a few fellow season ticket-holders made the trip to Portland to watch this game too. With the Golden State Warriors moving to San Francisco hopefully within the next few years, I assume the concept and architecture would be very similar to Moda Center; and then some. read more

I don't know why so many people are down on the RG! It's a good venue for Trailblazer games, big concerts, and other large events... The seats are comfortable enough, The views are decent (and no, you're not allowed to complain about the 300 level seats being too far away...that's why they are $15), It's location in the heart of PDX is superb, The public transportation is fantastic (max lines and buses stop alright right at the entrance), And if you're driving, you can park free at Lloyd center mall and walk the ~10 minutes straight there (or hop on the Max to save you the walk, but caution: it's no longer free) No, it's not super fancy but it also isn't run down by any means... And yes, beers there are ridiculously expensive but no more so than your average football/basketball stadium/arena.... And as for food, I can't really comment because I never buy food there since there are a TON of great restaurants with happy hours before most events just a few blocks away Overall I can't really ask for much more out of the arena without sounding like a whiny Portlandite with too many first-world problems to complain about :-) ***Review #18 in the Yelp 30 in 30 Challenge!*** read more

There's nothing like the playoffs! The excitement, the intensity of the crowd, the pressure. It's overwhelming, and I like that. Came her for game 6 of the first round, Blazers/Clipper series, with Portland up 3-2. Got in pretty quickly and got some light up sticks which I thought were kinda corny but when you have the whole arena light up at the same time, it looks pretty dope. I'd saying I was also happy to see a T-Shirt at my seat, but it was actually the floor. Standing Room Only! Hey, I was happy to just be in the place and getting to see the whole place from the bird's eye view was pretty fun. They got lots of brewer's stations on site. Are you surprised? It's Portland! I have to say the venue is fantastic, but there's a reason why it's 4 and not 5 stars. The food. It sounded like Citi Field or the Barclays Center. So many local food vendors that would great authentic local good, but nah. I got a sandwich from Bunk, which I hear is really good. Hope this is just a reflection of the arena location. Bread to meat ratio was like 15:1. Terrible. I also got some pizza that I hear is suppose to be great in Portland, and once again I was left to wonder what I ordered. Luckily the nachos weren't all that bad. With the game on the line in the fourth the Blazers showed clutch play. My man Plumlee, a former Net, hit the game winning free throws. Nice! Rip City was on to advance to round 2! read more

First time coming to an event at the Moda Center - 9/4/15 for Ariana Grande. I didn't park, I was dropped off outside of the venue and had to wait in no lines to get into the building. Easy access to freeways. Pretty venue from the outside too, there is another venue next door (I think I heard it's called The Colosseum), and there are a bunch of cool fountains outside. Run fast by them or you'll get wet - lesson learned. Very bright and open inside; easy to find your section or just walk around, as it is just a giant circle. Tons of food options - most of them I hadn't ever heard of, but they all looked and smelt fantastic! I indulged in just a pretzel with cheese cause I am boring, and it was delicious. They do also sell alcohol; beer, wine, and I saw a legit bar with cocktails. The ushers were very nice and helpful. On my ticket it said to access floor seats to go to 23A, but when I got there the guy told me to go to 26A - no problem. The usher on the floor was funny and sociable as he escorted me to the 7th row. Looks like there are 3 levels in the venue. The floor seating can be either GA or sectioned. The concert was fantastic. The sound was great and the lighting was great. I am all about the sound though; the bass and vocals were spot on and very clear. Would definitely travel back down to Portland for another show at this venue. read more

Yeah, it's a new name for an old face - Rose Garden is now the Moda Center - HOWEVER, the changes concession wise have made more much more of a fan than I thought I'd be. 'Cause instead of your $76 hot dog/pop corn/burger options they've gone and brought some local food options to flavor your sports/concert/monster truck experience. First off SIZZLE PIE. I love Sizzle Pie. There's also Killer Burger, Fire on the Mountain and Bunk Sandwiches. The prices are definitely inflated from the brick & mortar locales, but so it everything else. Might as well go tasty. Beer prices stayed the same from last year - $9 for craft brews, less for crap brews. Laurelwood has a half court pub on the 300 level and there's other options like Widmer sprinkled through the area as well. So while I'm opposed to the name change, the food additions kind of rock my world. I'll take it and I'll be back, duh. Go HAWKS/BLAZERS/RANDOMSPORTSTEAM! read more

I have a couple confessions to make. I already have earplugs in for all the groaning, gnashing of teeth, and generalized hatred they will likely cause in this forum: 1) I actually call this place the "Moda Center". 2) I never went to it when it had the other name. 3) I have only been here exactly ONE time. Having said all that, I really liked the place. The setup is much, much better organized and laid out than most large arenas I've been to. Stand-out's: - Decent beer on tap! - Decent beer on tap that you don't have to miss 8 songs waiting in line to get! - Local food! (FotM FTW!) - Good sound quality (I'm truly no expert on this but NIN sounded pretty good) All in all I didn't feel molested/hassled too much, which is a problem with event spaces like this. Buuuuut, the beer is spendy, there's no getting away from that. PROTIP: Have a good "pre-drinking" spot picked out. (it's just like being in college again!) read more

Moda Center - 2023! - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I went to my first Blazer's game at the Moda Center the other day. Let me repeat- my first professional basketball game ever. So this review may be under the veneer of newbie. I was impressed with Moda Center's cleanliness, organization and options. The place has about a dozen food options, from Bunk's Sandwiches, Killer Burger, to your usual stadium food vendor to a sit down taproom. Yes, there is actually a taproom in there which is nice for the plebeians to sit down and not have to sign up for an expensive annual membership. I do prefer the 10 Barrel's IPA up on the 3rd floor compared to Pyramid's IPA they provide on the main floor. Yup, it's a hike but well worth it. Everything inside the Moda Center is spotless, the bathrooms are great. The ushers and workers are stern but friendly. The Blazers lost that night, but I would not hesitate to come back. read more

Modacenter was the main center for my quick trip to Portland. We were able to go to a Portland Trailblazers game and to see Justin Beibers new Purpose tour. My goal is to visit every NBA arena in the league and it was nice to cross off the Blazers. I have now officially went to all the NBA arenas on the west coast. Yay me.. Anyways it was a fun experience, the cleanliness and the modern structure they uphold made my experience good. I just felt like the fans could have cheered for their team just s little bit harder. They were winning but it was so quiet in there. I don't know, maybe because I'm a Warriors fan lol. As for the JB concert, all I can say was...wait what do the young kids call it nowadays? Oh yeah, the place was lit. The concert was fun and everyone had a good time. Thanks moda center for making my trip to Portland fun! read more
