VPjr Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 The location in downtown Portland is great. the Timber supporters are fantastic. The city has a history supporting soccer. I'd like to see them renovate the stadium. I don't care if they join MLS. Portland is a model franchise for USL and it would be sad for the league to lose another top club.

tmcmurph Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I'm interested in them joining MLS so the Cascadia Cup can resume with the Caps holding it until then. After Van & Mtl get in of course. It makes me wonder if MLS will do something sane and allow 3 in instead of 2 in 2011? "We had so many quality bids we couldn't just take 2" type of hype. MLS wants something to happen in the northwest so Seattle is a success. Nothing like an established 3 way rivalry to boost sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianSoccerFan Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 There's still so many questions to be answered with this bid though. The city is still yet to commit on funding the stadium renos and building a new baseball stadium. Personally, I don't think they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
