I'm seriously debating buying tickets and driving down and maybe chill for a day or 2. I've been deprived of watching any NBA games in YEARS!!!

Has anyone else done this?
 
Yeah I went down there with my friend who was coaching a bball tourney down there. It was definitely refreshing to go to a game and YES it is way liver at theRose Garden than at KeyArena.
 
I've been down a bunch of times, although half of them were to see the Sonics vs. the Blazers.
but its plenty of fun if you get a weekend game....drive down Friday, and chill through Sunday. Thats what we usually do.

Yup, I already have a couple people who I'm about to do this with this year. I went last year around April, but I might go down a couple times this year.Drive down, maybe take the train, watch the game and then chill.
 
ive already been to a few games this year. if you go try to find a game against a competitive team, blowouts are boring...

It took me 2nd read to see that you meant live-r and not liver as in the human organ.

Has anyone taken the train??
 
The MAX is a pretty decent way of getting around.
when we drive down, we stay over in NE by the Lloyd center and would walk the few blocks to the Rose Garden. We'd hang out downtown and could get aroundpretty well on the Max and left the car at the hotel. Only place we really drove to was the MLK Outlet and a few friends houses. Some Portland residents mightbe able to answer this a lil better than I can, but I know I've seen the MAX in quite a few places, even outside of Portland like Beaverton and Clackamas
 
The MAX can pretty much take you anywhere now that the Green Line is open. The Green Line goes all the way out to Clackamas Town Center and the bus system isalso good for getting around. Come down, enjoy the city, and go Blazers!
 
I live in Salt Lake City and have contemplated catching a Blazer Game in PDX. Always kinda liked that team.

Going form Portland to Seattle I have taken the train to Mariners games and it is nice. It takes about 4.5 hours and was around $25 each way but this was like6 years ago. You wouldn't need a car if you got a room downtown. The train station is in the heart of downtown and then you could just use Max to getaround.

why would you post this? do you want a cookie?
 
Yes and it breaks my heart every time.

Had swahili class with B-Roy at UW, so I go to watch him, but otherwise it just makes me miss the Sonics.

Doesn't help that I live 5 minutes from KeyArena and can see the Key logo out of my living room window, either...
 
so it looks like I'll be in Portland the weekend of the Lakers and Cavs games, but wont actually be at the games. still should be plenty of fun
