“Today is an exciting moment for Oregon. Overwhelmingly passing SB 110 is more than securing funding support for a professional baseball stadium, this bill shows Major League Baseball Oregon is excited about America’s past time.
This is a perfect example of a public-private partnership. It’s been a long road, but we are excited for the next phase of this project.
Portland Diamond Project would like to thank legislators for believing in our vision. No rest until opening day!”

SB 110 bonds are only issued if we get an MLB team, and they are paid back by home and traveling MLB player salaries. No Oregonian will see new or additional taxes as a result of SB 110, but it will generate new and sustainable revenue for Oregon for decades to come.

Great news, baseball fans! The Portland City Council voted unanimously today to support Portland Diamond Project’s effort to bring a Major League Baseball team to Portland! This is a significant sign of progress, and we want to thank Mayor Ted Wheeler and the council for getting behind our vision of making Portland better with baseball. What does the resolution do?
“I am proud to support Portland Diamond Project and leverage the City’s talent and resources in service of making this vision a reality,” said Mayor Ted Wheeler. “The positive impact to our region would be tremendous. Now is the time to dream big for Portland, our region and the state of Oregon.”

In case you didn’t know...Portland is the largest media market with only one of the big four sports franchises (NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB). We believe Portland is an underserved sports market and is due for another professional franchise. #MLBtoPDX
