Indeed, the final vote passes 8-4 for the city to commit $120 million to arena renovations to go with $365 million from the state and $101.6 million from the county. All contingent on a final 20-year lease agreement with the Blazers being approved by the end of the calendar year.
@paulyccomedy@miles_wilhelm You can’t even draw at Cardinals games. You like so many in St Louis suffer from having never left here syndrome. You can’t see your city from any other perspective than where did you go to high school. The Blazers are also not a bad team in the history of the sport
@sureokaywhynot_@miles_wilhelm The broader Portland area has 2.5 million people. The Blazers are the only major sports team and have been there 50 years. It’s a pipe dream that you’re going to pull them away.
@paulyccomedy@miles_wilhelm As someone who has lived in both you’re vastly mistaken. Metro area of Portland is 2.5 million. They have one major 4 sport team the Blazers that have been there 50 years. You brought a soccer team here 3 years ago and its meh. If the Blazers move they aren’t coming here
@AmiriKing It’s honestly my favorite when people don’t get their way and they start shitting on the fast food place they are eating at….like you’re not any better than the persom working their. You’re keeping them employed
