    Don’t do it. Major League Baseball has enough money to pay for their own damn ballpark. There are a million better uses for taxpayer money.

      Right? Feels a little redundant to have another ballpark so close to the Civic Stadium, but the city seems hellbent on getting another stadium in here somewhere so it feels like it’s gonna go somewhere.

        People in Seattle fought for a long time to stop taxpayer money from going to Safeco field. It happened anyway. I hope Portland can be more successful.
