From the old investors who just want things "the way they were," to the sports radio guys in a market where their stations rank somewhere behind jazz and Jesus, nobody has presented a good reason for baseball's existence here. Stadiums do not create longstanding jobs, they do not drive local revenue and, in a city where affordable housing is already drying up, they do not represent a good use of vacant real estate. I look forward to watching this council nuke Portland baseball into the earth's core.

Baseball is boring AF, but so are you. So....
