Portland loves Soccer!

On March 20, 2009, Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber announced that Portland will be the home of the League’s 18th team! Thank you Merritt Paulson and his family for your love of the game and providing a world-class soccer environment for Portland’s soccer fans.

So here we go soccer fans in the City of Roses – bring on MLS in 2011! I can almost hear the fans chanting for the Portland Timbers now. The PGE Park improvements include several state-of-the-art amenities with new permanent seats and concessions on the east side fronting 18th Street. The field will be sized to meet MLS regulations. Player facilities will also see improvements.

This project comes at a time when Portland’s economic development can use a boost. Oh planning+design, architecture is one of the many businesses in town who appreciate the opportunity to work on this exciting project and add jobs to our fragile economy. Working in association with prime architect AECOM Ellerbe Becket and Turner Construction on this fast paced multi-phased plan to reach the GOL!
