@Babkock18 @esidery Well America in economic downturn under Trump again is certainly a trend. But yeah, just focus on two cities because they’re democratic😂

[Keep Rip City @SavetheBlazers]

@driftingkaia @PlayaHata7691 @esidery Literally top 5 if you take the last decade as a sample instead of one season after we tanked the year before👍

[Keep Rip City @SavetheBlazers]

@DrewRasmus @esidery By that same reasoning can we talk about the whole country? The economic state of Portland is not unique to Portland alone. Many many cities are suffering, democratic and republican alike (not that it should matter AT ALL)

@thomast1908 @esidery Not denying this, but people are saying St. Louis is in a better place??

The whole nation is down, yes Portland has to improve, but the Blazers specifically have had no issues selling tickets and making revenue. This is a BS negotiation tactic to change the subject.

[Keep Rip City @SavetheBlazers]

@PDXjay What other than income taxes isn’t happening across the entire nation right now?

And selling tickets and revenue is an issue? The data does not back that up. Portland made more revenue than the two teams in the finals in 2025… lots to improve but we aren’t at the bottom.

@WarrickCamDaGr8 @CHold @dwightjaynes And I don’t think their comparable because an NBA arena takes substantially more space, money, and resources to construct

[Keep Rip City @SavetheBlazers]

@WarrickCamDaGr8 @CHold @dwightjaynes Nike would build a billion dollar arena in Beaverton for attention?

[Keep Rip City @SavetheBlazers]

@WarrickCamDaGr8 @CHold @dwightjaynes Those are not comparable

[Keep Rip City @SavetheBlazers]

@Elite24hoops @blazerbanter Will you ever elaborate or are you just a grown ass man trying to rage bait online?

[Keep Rip City @SavetheBlazers]

@dwightjaynes Quoting random people because you can’t make a point???

Portland is not in its best state, duh. It’s weird how much you seem to relish that and like to just point out the negatives. What are you doing to make the city better?? Tweeting???

[Keep Rip City @SavetheBlazers]

@WandMatt @dwightjaynes I don’t disagree with your overall point but I do question some specifics there.

Also it’s not like the rest of the country has been thriving.

[Keep Rip City @SavetheBlazers]

@WandMatt @dwightjaynes Isn’t Colorado’s school year shorter?

[Keep Rip City @SavetheBlazers]

@dwightjaynes What’s your point? It’s not news that Portland has been on a decline. Virtually the whole has, though Portland’s is steeper?

Do people try to contest this? It’s a great reason why we CANNOT lose the Blazers.

[Keep Rip City @SavetheBlazers]

@DanJMajkut @Elite24hoops @billoram Yes.

[Keep Rip City @SavetheBlazers]

@Elite24hoops @magicfaninTN @billoram Name one, we aren’t asking for them all. If we could be here until September it should be very easy for you.

[Keep Rip City @SavetheBlazers]

@Elite24hoops @HuskyBlazerFan @billoram

[Keep Rip City @SavetheBlazers]

@DucksUpCamas @503Blazerfans @ocarriere6 Probably allowing businesses to setup and make money here, not chasing them away with more political bullshit and over taxation

[Keep Rip City @SavetheBlazers]

@PTPMariners I agree

But this is also the case in SF, Oakland, LA, NY…
