Moda Center Vote Shapes Trail Blazers Future | Portland News
Description
Portland’s City Council faces a make-or-break vote this week over the future of the Moda Center, home of the Trail Blazers. With the team’s lease up for renewal and NBA standards demanding major upgrades, the city must decide how much to invest — even as its own budget tightens. Local business owners like Donald Kenney, whose sports bar sits across from the arena, argue the city has a duty to maintain its property, which impacts the entire Lloyd District. Meanwhile, passionate fans and groups like “We Are Rip City” are rallying behind keeping the team, stressing that an NBA franchise is a rare and vital asset for the city. The council’s decision on Wednesday could reshape Portland’s sports and economic landscape for decades to come — and the community is making sure their voices are heard loud and clear.
