With one already in Ontario it seems to reduce the chances for another "regional" game like Boise, Spokane, etc.
That's the only Ontario I know that has a minor league stadium...where are you talking about? And when I sag "regional" game , I mean ones that teams use sometimes to try to build up extended viewership fan bases. Giving up a full season ticket priced game to go out to the hinterlands for a game isn't something they'll pack the preseason with
I bet the blazers get at least double the national coverage they got last year during the regular season. If it's a western top 8 team vs another top 8 team I guarantee it's going to be nationally televised. We will thankfully see much better national games this year. Unfortunately for the Blazers they will end up playing the rockets on Christmas, but it will be here in portland which would be fun!
