The games last about 2 hours. Plenty of food options. 2/$10 hotdogs to loaded nachos they are reasonably priced compared to most venues. $5 for a can of soda:( BOO! 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.

AN EXPERIENCE. Literally the only way to put it. I had never heard of the Portland Pickles until…read morethis summer when I was planning a trip to Portland and some friends suggested we go to a game. As a dill pickle lover, I was in. The friends said it was a uniquely Portland thing, and... They were right! Parking seems to be limited near the stadium, we pregamed at a bar a ways away and walked to the stadium. Upon entry, we hit up the merch, because I definitely needed the GET PICKLED shirt I got. Then I got some fried pickles from the concession stand. It was a busy night, but we found a spot with our chairs eventually and enjoyed the ride. There are so many fun traditions here ("dolphin!" and the routine when the Pickles score a run)! And who can forget Dillon T. Pickle? Now THAT'S a mascot. Plus, there's a theme for very (?) game, so when I went, they did a rocket launch after the game. I had such an amazing time, and now I'm a Pickles fan for life! Highly recommend going if you're in Portland!

After my first game a few months after moving here I understood the energy of the city much more. Pickles games are FUN. They are silly and goofy and there's all sorts of fun extras like real tattoo artists and launch a ball and lifting the chairs after a pickles point is scored that are just SO Portland. Always a good time and the mascot is hilarious!!!

They do a great job and add a lot to a region that is booming tremendously. The crowds here are excellent, compared to a lot of other teams in the NWSL league. They play at Providence Park. The Portland stadium (Providence Park) is an absolute credit to the region, and it's the oldest soccer stadium in the country, and houses both the Thorns and the legendary Timber. It's a region that doesn't have many real big name professional sports teams and the Timber are one of the pride and joys of Oregon. They are also former Champions and when they play in the stadium it's honestly very hard for anyone to beat them. It is close to downtown and utterly amazing.

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.

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

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.

Great venue, wonderful fans that are eager to share what they know about the game and the point system, super welcoming staff & volunteers and spectacular teams. So much fun. You can grab a bite out back where a food truck is parked, wait in line for drinks or have them delivered. Buy your tickets online early because this event sold out. The energy of the crowd was awesome. The announcer keeps the spectators engaged with play by play in the fast moving arena. After the first period volunteers came out to race on tricycles keeping the energy hyped and engaged. Fantastic sporty and some very tough roller derby battles. Crushed it.

Its pretty easy to follow and wow does game play go by fast! Our friends try to get the VIP couch so we even got the full treatment which was neat. There are snacks at a pretty decent rate - hot dogs, nachos (which are crazy big and loaded!), sodas, candy and chips plus a beer/wine garden. Cash only so plan accordingly but their merch table can take cards and they have some pretty great merch. I loved the diversity seen here with age and this is a body positive zone with all different shapes and sizes - bravo!

Mostly I go with friends who are season ticket holders and the experience of seeing the action right up close is incredible! Over the years we have gotten to know the ushers and waiters who always greet us by name and add to the wonderful experience. The Portland fans are the best! The atmosphere and energy always high. The team has had their ups and downs, fantastic seasons and some real struggles, but through it all the players are true sportsmen, work well as a team, are professional and respectful. They always express gratitude and appreciation of the fans and the city of Portland. Did I mention that I love my a Blazers?!! Yes, I prefer to win, but the reason I am such a fan is because of the type of people the players are, especially under Damian and Coach Stott's leadership. They are a great group of young men. So even when we are struggling, I am there cheering them on and having fun doing it!

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.
