    I don't see any way we get enother major league team without the Mayor leading the charge. And even then here's so many groups that are against sports and taxes that you'd need someone like Paul Allen to come in and pay for it himself. With the way this city operates it's a miracle we still have the Blazers.

    The Mayor is behind it, if I read the article correctly.

    I'm totally cool with MLB or NHL. I would love to get an NFL team, but that's not going to happen with places like LA needing a team.

    Looks like if Portland does get MLB, it won't be the A's. Or, if it is the A's, it won't be this decade.

    Ptd gets used by other cites as leverage for both hockey and baseball

    Fuck.

    Who's next on the list for possible relocation?

    Tampa Bay is in financial trouble (again) and have been on Portland's radar since the Expos.

    Do we really want to invest a billion dollars into a stadium that no one will go to? Seems like every.game on TV is played to a lot of empty seats.

    Well, it's pretty obvious Portland just gets used as a pawn by the other team/city, but since when is it a billion dollars to build a stadium??
