OUR LATEST PODCAST EPISODE

THE POLITICS OF STADIUMS

While the final decision remains in the hands of Major League Baseball, political momentum has been building, signaling Portland is serious about securing a baseball team.  If baseball returns to Portland, it will be to the credit of a small group of political and business leaders who stuck to an ambitious vision – and a belief that a new stadium district in the South Waterfront can fundamentally transform downtown and the regional sports economy. 

Building a new stadium is enormously complicated for any major metro region. It’s certainly more complicated in a hyper-inclusive political ecosystem like Portland. The process of siting, designing, approving, and building stadiums is arduous. It involves input and buy-in from a chaotic network of public and private decisionmakers. 

In this episode we unpack how Portland has navigated these roadblocks and how the city is sending a clear signal to stakeholders that we are ready to play ball.
