Re: OT:Portland Marlins
Realistically people, I would love for there to be a baseball and football team in Oregon but it's not going to happen anytime soon so don't get your hopes up. Look at the attendance of the Blazers this season, it's horrible so many empty seats. Football won't come here until Sports Action is abolished plus you forgot the most important thing of all, WEST COAST BIAS.

Re: OT:Portland Marlins
Anyways what happened to the Portland Forest Dragons, I remember going to a couple of games with my co-workers, did they move!? Portland should get an arena football team. In order for us to get big league franchises we need to start small and work our way up, you can't just say we want a big league franchise, it doesn't work that way.

attendance #'s for the blazers bear nothing on whether or not we'd be able to support a team. Why is this a faulty rationale? Well, for starters if the team did have decent #'s, you'd use that as proof that there's not enough extra fans..
Who cares if the NFL wouldn't come here (whatkind of support does the NFL have that you can systematically point to that you can't also point to in regards to MLB?).
Whether or not we can support a team isn't the same as whether or not MLB will put a team here.

WEST COAST BIAS?
What is WEST COAST BIAS?
Is that what kept SD, SF, LA, and Seattle from getting teams?

dude, seriously..how can anyone take you seriously if you don't even know that the arena football league team that was here about 7 years ago, is gone or not?
or that we should just get another "minor league team" as tho thats what will prove we should get a team. We've gone the minor league route, we're not a minor league city.

You can't make nonsensical, factually incorrect assertions and think that will convince us, it doesn't work that way.

Re: OT:Portland Marlins
Ok, I will tell the truth, there is a good reason why I don't want Portland to have a football or baseball team. My favorite baseball team is the Seattle Mariners, I try to go to their games as much as I can. My favorite football team is the Seattle Seahawks, Shaun Alexander is the most underrrated RB in the league, I have been to every home game this season! If Portland got a team, then the Mariners and Seahawks would be our arch rivals and I don't think I can stop loving them.

um, if we got an NL team (the marlins are an NL team) you could still be a mariners fan.
I'm a Boston Red Sox fan..if we got an NL team, I'd STILL be a Red Sox fan.
