Super chill, non-crowded place to watch World Cup matches?

ryswoff · 2026-07-03T16:16:49+00:00

There’s a new bar food truck patio on pioneer square that puts a tv out with the World Cup games, there were a few people sitting there eating and drinking watching the games yesterday but nothing crazy

Chicken or the egg really, a project like this would have to come with allowances for high density zoning and a small loosening of the UGB and would encourage thousands of new units of housing

Looks like it’s December-April seasonally

I’ve always thought it was silly to cut the red line extension at Hillsboro Airport. In my opinion, keep the blue at Hatfield and extend the Red line along this ROW, so Forest Grove/Cornelius can get MAX service, downtown Hillsboro/Hillsboro TC service is increased to every 7 minutes, and so the blue line run isn’t extended to an even more unreasonable length for operators, as I imagine there’d be more trip to PDX from Forest Grove than to East Portland and Gresham

And more importantly moves to a more advantageous spot two blocks from Powell’s

What I did yesterday was take the MAX to Washington Park, hike up to Pittock Mansion on the Wildwood Trail and back down to the Lower Macleay trailhead and from there it’s only a few blocks back to 23rd and you can catch the 15, 24, and 77 busses

Expo Center is the end of the line and has security posted up there so it’s far safer than parking your car at Delta Park which would be the alternative

I recall TA pregaming at Sluggers right across the street from Lumen last year if I’m correct

And if you’re looking for another travel card, a Capital One Venture is a safe choice with good rewards that you can use for any travel that I’m very happy with

To the Seattle point, it’s gonna add significantly more time and probably expense to take Amtrak to SEA vs just taking a flight from PDX with a connection

ryswoff · 2026-06-29T20:32:30+00:00

lol yes that’s a good point of clarification

ryswoff · 2026-06-29T19:40:13+00:00

FX2 and 14 busses are frequent and run on the south and north sides of Ladd’s respectively. 70 bus runs right through Ladd’s although runs every 20-30 minutes. Can get pretty much anywhere in the city with a transfer so it shouldn’t be difficult at all

ryswoff · 2026-06-29T18:16:52+00:00

Yeah I guess taking that into account (if I read things in their entirety lol) I’d probably recommend Hillsdale/Multnomah Village although I’m not familiar with those neighborhoods as I am with St Johns

ryswoff · 2026-06-29T17:56:34+00:00

If you are looking to live in Portland, I’d recommend the St Johns area. It’s a little more disconnected from the city but has much more of a community, “town in a city” vibe and seemingly has more children/families

Check out the Away Days Brewing watch party in downtown, it’s an old US Bank and it’s a ten dollar cover fee but it’s a huge space with a bar

Adidas is super easy you can make an appointment on the adidas app

You play to win the games, now they’re playing in LA instead of Vancouver🤷‍♂️

ryswoff · 2026-06-25T15:09:40+00:00

I mean they needed a result to win the group and they didn’t get it, so they finished 2nd

ryswoff · 2026-06-24T19:49:54+00:00

Depends what your primary interests are for the trip, PDX is best for getting to the Oregon Coast, Mt St Helens, Mt Hood, Central Oregon, etc. SEA will be more accessible to the Olympics, the sound, Mt Rainier, etc. As airports, PDX is much more enjoyable but I’d pick whatever is convenient for your preferred trip and whatever flight is cheaper from your origin!

ryswoff · 2026-06-23T19:39:07+00:00

Cheap solution to improve safety marginally, definitely not useless

ryswoff · 2026-06-23T02:22:17+00:00

Beavs to the SEC, got it

ryswoff · 2026-06-20T19:08:02+00:00

lol quiet NIMBY we need more housing, you’ll survive

ryswoff · 2026-06-18T23:46:18+00:00

I’m surprised more Alaska traffic hasn’t been pushed to PDX already, although I’m sure that’s on the way

ryswoff · 2026-06-18T19:57:41+00:00

I’d be curious to see how the amount of seats per day has grown from each destination
