Best Places In Portland To Watch A Blazers Game?

[ABM]

OK, first and foremost, most of the time I'll be watching the Blazers play from the comfort of my home. I'll also watch a handful @ the RG.

That said, what I'd really like to know is, now that I live here, where are the best places (sports bars) to watch the Blazers play....where the viewing is good......where I can root for our team along with other like Blazer maniacs? I could definitely see myself going to said establishment(s) for meaningful games and the like.

Where would you send me?

Thanks in advance.

Toms Pizza on Lombard gets a good crowd during Blazer games. I personally like to be a Blazer freak at my own residence so I can be as animated and obnoxious as I want and not annoy anybody. But, thats just me.

You won't be at any games this year?

I'll be at some games, but as a fan.

That company I was working for was such a sham and the lesbian who runs it is too flakey. I got fed up, I saw a lot of cool shit though, but I don't really need to supplement my income anymore. Plus, after awhile I'd rather be able to watch the game completely without having to worry about babysitting drunk fans.

Macking on hot broads in the front row and kicking it with Chico and Charlie was cool though.

Cheerful Tortoise by PSU is a good place downtown to watch games. I also like The Pit Stop in Beaverton and The Sports Page in Progress.

It's corporate and a bit too clean, but Buffalo Wild Wings on Morrison always has a big crowd for away games, and is packed before games. Then, you just jump on the Max and head over to the RG. Park at the SmartPark for $5.

There's a new place opening up close to the Garden, should be open for the beginning of the season. Called, I believe, Spirit of '77. It's on MLK, 500 NE MLK, I think. Should be a good place to go. Especially for those actually going to the game, finally a place close by to drink before and after within walking distance of the Rose Garden.

It's all about screen size!

I'll often hit up the Mission Theater when they screen the games

This should be On-Topic!

The companies multi million dollar luxury suit. Nothing worse than sitting with the general riff-raff.

Ditto. I hate the corporate feel of BWW, but the bottom line is there are fans there, and a shit ton of TV's. You will be able to see the game from anywhere in the restaurant or bar.

I would find the closest strip club that carries the games.

The thing is, riff-raff such as yourself only gets to sit in said suite when somebody else is buyin'....which is rarely.

ZZzzzzzzzzzzzz.....................................

luxury seats suck. why not just watch the game in a fucking restaurant? the view sucks. I like to sit close to the floor.

buffalo wild wings gets too crowded. fun times though.

Because I get a ton of free food (often with our own chef) in the suite, a private bathroom (complete with flat screen TV to not miss the action), soft and wide leather seating, free drinks...

What's NOT to like???

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Don't feel like part of the game. half the people in there aren't even watching or into the team. Fuck that, I want to be with the people!

Fixed.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

yes. me going to the game and sitting in the stands is akin to when white folk go to the ghetto to experience some "soul food"!

Luxury suites are WAY overrated for basketball games!

BLAZER PROPHET's Rules for attending Blazer games:

Rule #1: Luxury suites insulate one from the riff-raff

Rule #2: The game is secondary

Rule #3: Hob-nobbing with the lawyer-types is THE BOMB

That's all you really need to know

The Memorial Coliseum! Just got my tix for October 11TH!!!!!

I've never seen so many jealous peeps in my life. I'll be thinking of y'all when I have a plate full of Penne Chicken, just prepared by the chef in the suite, soft garlic bread, salad and a cold beverage, cheering on my team from the confines of a carpeted posh and spacious room. Why you spend your time with bubba and bubba, jr cutting their 300 pounds back and forth in front of you all night getting beer and slobbering about the refs.

Oh yeah, ABM, if you dislike the suite so much, then stop begging me to go there. Stop asking if I can leave my wife home to slip you in. Stop asking me to ask my boss to make room for you...

Gads. The things I do to set an example around here. Somebody has to show a little class and I guess that means me.

Hey, don't get me wrong...I LOVE the suites! Just as well, I have no problem sitting with the riff-raff..........unlike you.

I've been to a half dozen Blazer games in a "Luxury" suite. I'm not talking out of my ass. I'll take my seat in the mighty 306, above the "Luxury" suites any day. Far from jealous. Just informed.

I sat up there once. It was so high my ears bled. I saw some little ants running around waaaaaaaaaaaay down there and realized it was a basketball game!

Just think, if the whole city felt as you, a sellout would be around 3,000.

Thank goodness for riff-raff!!
