But hey if you don't want to pay those prices you can bring a water bottle and fill for free at the water station. We will try and attend more games.

I know the Portland Timbers best for their MLS Cup 2018 matchup against Atlanta United FC. It was…read moreonly our (Atlanta) second season in existence and we beat the Timbers, 2-0, in Atlanta. It was a big win for the city as an Atlanta pro sports team had not won a championship since the Atlanta Braves won the 1995 World Series. The Timbers played Atlanta United in Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The Timbers were the MLS Cup 2015 champions, beating Columbus Crew SC, 2-1, despite Portland playing a road game at MAPFRE Stadium in Ohio. The Timbers set an MLS Cup record in that match when Diego Valeri scored only 27 seconds into the game (fastest goal recorded in the championship match to date). Valeri went on to be named MLS Cup MVP. Also, similar to Atlanta above, it was a big win for the city of Portland as a Portland pro sports team had not won a championship since the Portland Trail Blazers won the 1977 NBA World Championship Series (now known as the NBA Finals). Caleb Porter coached the Timbers from 2013 to 2017 and, somewhat ironically, has been head coach of Columbus Crew SC since 2019. He was a great coach for Portland. The Timbers' first MLS season was in 2011. So far, the 2015 and 2018 MLS Cups have been the team's only appearances in MLS' championship match. In those seasons, the Timbers finished in fifth and third place, respectively, in the Western Conference. Both in 2013 and 2017, they finished in first, but were unable to make it past the Conference Finals in 2013 and Conference Semifinals in 2017. In 2013 and 2018, the team had impressive 15-game unbeaten streaks. Overall, all seasons combined, the Timbers have been a middle-of-the-pack MLS squad. Over the years, goalkeepers Donovan Ricketts and Adam Kwarasey tallied high numbers of shutouts. Some of their single-season shutout numbers approached league records. In 2013, Ricketts had 14 shutouts and in 2015, Kwarasey had 13. Incredible. Portland won the one-off MLS is Back Tournament in August 2020, earning a spot in the 2021 CONCACAF Champions League.

If you have a group or company, avoid the Timbers at all cost. My company planned a celebration…read moreevent at a Timbers game. First paid $7500 for 150 people. This was standing tickets only, no seats. Also no private area and there were tons of other people so very few people could actually see the field to watch the game. $50 to just get in to the park. Then let's talk about the catering, paid $11000, that's right $11k to run out of some cheap pulled pork and baked beans. Think $10 plate dinner, but paid almost $70 a person. Worst of all they ran out of food and drinks. Their way to make it up was a platter of $5 grocery store cookies. I've never been so frustrated and disappointed

The Portland Trail Blazers experiment at Georgia Tech is over. By that, I mean Damon Stoudamire's…read moretenure as Yellow Jackets head coach. As a big NBA fan in the late 90s and into the 2010s, and as a Georgia Tech alum and longtime men's basketball season ticket holder, never in a million years would I have guessed Damon Stoudamire - of all people - would be one of Tech's head coaches. That was a connection I would have never made. I always saw Damon as a Portland/Pacific NW/NBA kind of guy, *not* an ACC men's basketball coach. I told Damon that when I met him, back in 2024, and he listed a few connections to Atlanta that included his sons. I knew he was well-connected in the basketball world and I could see why Tech's then-athletic director J Batt hired him. Damon can now add ACC head men's basketball coach to his journeyman resume. Also, Damon hired Bonzi Wells to be on his staff. I watched those two up close and in person at about 50 home games over the last three years (2023-2026). Anyway, this review is supposed to be about the Blazers. When I think of the Blazers, I think of Damon, Bonzi, and the "Jail Blazers." I first saw them in person during the 1999-2000 season at Staples Center, Portland at the Los Angeles Clippers. I liked that team and wanted them to win the 2000 NBA championship. It's too bad they didn't because they got so close. I highly recommend watching the 2026 Netflix documentary "Untold: Jail Blazers." It features Damon, Bonzi, and Rasheed Wallace. It's very entertaining to hear their first-hand accounts of the Jail Blazers era. I grew to really like and respect Damon and was sad to see him go. As a diehard Tim Duncan-era Spurs fan, I thought Tiago Splitter did a nice job as interim coach of the Blazers this season.

My husband snagged Meridian club tickets from Facebook marketplace, which made for a very special date night. The club level includes food (hot dog bar and poke bar buffet for AAPI night, along with dessert and drinks) which I found to be an incredible value. The club layout is very spacious with a variety of I indoor and outdoor seating options and restrooms are located on either side. Service was outstanding. The staff are so welcoming, personable and friendly. I had so many great conversations and interactions with a variety of staff. I would definitely return and would consider hosting personal and professional events here.

I have been going to see the HOPS since they first came to HILLSBORO about 10 years ago…read more This is the ONLY Major League Baseball in the Portland area. Sorry, but the Pickles are not an MLB team. The HOPS are a minor league, high A affiliate. What this means (important) is if you are a College Baseball player who was drafted, this team will be your first stop. You will be on display, tested and worked with to see if, you can make it in the BIGS. So, it is a lot of fun to watch the players on both teams try-try-try as hard as they can. The new stadium that is brand new this year, has got to be the nicest minor league stadium on the West Coast. It has something for everyone with multiple levels of seating. From, $12.00 admission in the grass area where the kids play ground is, $22.00 seats on the first and third base line all the way up to $122.00 seats that include a full buffet with free Beer and Wine during the game. The regular game food on the first level is affordable and very tasty. The Maletis group is a sponsor, so you will find a lot of Budweiser Beer and local Micro's too. PARKING is about $10. Get there early as the closest spots get taken quickly. The OWNERS, attend every game since they moved the old Yakima Bears team from Yakima, WA to Hillsboro to start the HOPS. So, this is a Family affair, not just a bunch of investors. GO to see the HOPS! You will not be disappointed.

We stopped in at PTFC Authentics one late afternoon because during the game season last year, our…read moreson had pocketed a pin and didn't pay for it. Which is pretty typical for him (he is 8 and has ADHD and we constantly find random items in his pockets as he gets distracted and just ajoves things into his pocket so he can use his hands again.) NOT okay. NOT acceptable. We had him make a donation to PTFC (for the purchase price,) during the off-season as we didn't know if the store would be open to return it or pay for it. But having JUST eaten at Next Level Burger across the street, I could see it was open so I said let's go be accountable and apologize and offer to pay for it. He usually freaks out about that kind of thing but he said okay let's go. When we first walked in, the employee there was busy helping another customer. When we got a chance, my son and I went up to speak to him and he owed up to what he had done and apologized. The amount of compassion and kindness that he showed us was beyond what I could have hoped for. Then my daughter noticed his hat and started chatting with him about it and it was his own brand which was SO Portland and SO cool!!! They have ALL the cool scarves, new merch and jerseys and hats and pretty much ANYTHING PTFC or Timbers is right there. We ended up buying a few things and chatting for a while with this staff member as his kindness was EPIC. I know that stuff is typically pretty pricey there but we are fans of the clubs and we will definitely be buying from there again just to support such a great place and people!!
