Episode Details

Wildfire smoke blanketed Southeast Portland, pushing air quality to “unhealthy” levels and ranking the city among the worst globally — yet fans still flooded Walker Stadium for the Portland Pickles’ final regular-season game. With playoff spots already secured, loyalty trumped haze as fans braved the smoky skies, some even wearing masks to fend off headaches. The team monitored conditions closely, but no changes were needed per league rules. Even local running clubs like the Deadstock Run Club pivoted their Tuesday night runs into social gatherings, prioritizing connection over outdoor activity. Despite the gloom, the lively atmosphere and team spirit made it all worthwhile — and with playoffs looming and games streaming free on KOIN+, there’s still plenty of reason to tune in.
