Re: “Missing: Home Plate”
buildng a giant stadium is a complicated issue. I'm glad their trying to save Memorial Coliseum, and I hope the find a good compromise.
What about that spot of land next to OHSU southwaterfront where Cirque De Soleil sets up every year?

Re: “Major League Soccer Hearing”
missed talking point #34: the City is doing a fabulous job of negotiating. 6 months ago Paulson wanted a much different deal than the one he's willing to sign today. He wants to get this done and he's taking what the city is offering him.
Re: “Major League Soccer Hearing”
Congratulations, Smiley, you've again exceeded our expectations with another half-assed piece of internet searching.
this is what you were quoting:

that's not me. It's a user named MarkMCF, and you didn't even attempt to verify the identity of the poster, you just saw the name MARK and abracadabra, used the same skills of deduction that have left you on the losing end of every argument you start. You even took the quote out of context, which isn't fair to MarkMCF.
I post on the Timbers Message board, and I am plainly identified as the Mercury Blogger, but you didn't bother to look that far.
I'm all for discussions of the merits and drawbacks of this proposal in this and every forum, but your hackery continues to set a new low. I'd keep going, but I'm wasting a perfectly nice day stooping to your level.
Next time you want to quote me, don't run and find some other guy named Mark, make sure it comes directly from my mouth.
good day to you sir.
Re: “Major League Soccer Hearing”
Matt, what most people are ignoring here (supporters included) is that the USL is on very shaky ground, losing teams every year to the MLS (Toronto, Seattle, possibly Portland and Vancouver in 2011) and to bankruptcy (Edmonton, Calgary, Virginia Beach, California, and possibly now Miami FC before this season). The jump to MLS might be the proverbial jump from from an ice floe to dry land. If we don't join the MLS there may not be a league at any level for the Timbers to continue playing in within 2-3 years.
Re: “Major League Soccer Hearing”
"But their perceptions on the viability of major league soccer as a council proposition certainly run counter to this reporter's impressions, having spoken with council members and their staffers about this issue over the past few weeks."
Either quote them, or don't say anything.
