A little old-fashioned competition never hurt anyone, right? Portland hosts a multitude of exciting sports teams and events, including NBA basketball, pre-NHL hockey, minor league baseball and A-League soccer.

The ultra-modern Rose Garden arena is home to the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers and the Portland Winter Hawks hockey team, the Portland LumberJax indoor lacrosse team, as well as countless concerts and special events.

Fans may also cheer alongside Portland’s loyal and enthusiastic sports fans at historic PGE Park, whose recent renovation added state-of-the-art amenities without sacrificing the stadium’s elegant 1926 design. PGE Park is home to Triple-A baseball’s Portland Beavers, an affiliate of the San Diego Padres. The A-League Portland Timbers’ soccer games are also played here.
