OT MLB to PDX: We're talking baseball to PDX (1 Viewer)

I'm not familiar with the Denver and Atlanta projects, but San Diego was a very different situation than T2. When the stadium was built in SD, the convention center was already across the street. In addition, there was a underutilized warehouse district surrounding the ballpark that could be redeveloped, a la the Pearl district here. The ballpark site was also at the hub of the existing trolley system.

None of that exists at T2. Everything has to be built from scratch. That doesn't mean it won't work - but SD is not the model.

What happened to the site or sites near the Rose Quarter? That seems like a much better location transportation-wise, you could even walk there after getting something to eat/drink nearby. How many people would walk to the T2 site?

This is way too many words from you, and a straightforward logical post too? Where is the nuance? Stick to the gimmick you portray dammit!

When is the last time anyone went to Lloyd Center? That would be the spot for a new stadium.

Make it happen. Perfect spot for it.

Fuck that mall. Been robbed at gunpoint there.

What happened to the other spot?

Better yet why do I keep commenting on something that isn't even close to happening, and probably won't?

I love baseball, and really hope it happens. I also know the city of Portland and it's idiotic portion of residents.

I wonder if the PDP is going to contact MLB soon, to inquire about being able to talk to Tampa and Oakland, esp if MLB is going to be wishy washy on expansion.

Well, he was the only one who noticed the ridiculousness of the excess involved in the Whos' Christmas celebrations.

Where would they play while we build a new stadium?

I am absolutely not the forum bad guy. Unless you're using street slang, then yes......I'm a bad man

Infrastructure is a big problem for Terminal 2. Lloyd area wouldn't need much.

Nice Major League reference!

 

[Natebishop3]

Supposedly Lloyd is dying so I wouldn't be opposed to seeing it become another entertainment center.

 

[tlongII]

Not gonna happen.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Nice Major League reference!

Thank you

Lloyd works with public transportation, but parking would be a nightmare.
