Which is the most passionate sports community in the nation? I think a lot of people would say New York. When the Knicks are rolling, Madison Square Garden is rocking. It is home to the perennial MLB favorite Yankees, occasional National League contenders in the Mets, and let's not forget the two NFL franchises - the Giants and Jets. The city is also home to the U.S. Open in tennis, and many other big events. Some might argue Philadelphia or Boston. Even if their teams are down, the fans remain passionate, loud and opinionated. Fans of college sports might throw out Lincoln, Nebraska; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; or Durham, North Carolina. But what about Portland, Oregon? Yes, Portland. To an outsider, the Rose City is home to flannel-wearing hippies who work two hours a week whiledreaming of becoming clowns. But for those of us lucky enough to live here (or to claim it as our own, despite living 110 miles to the south), Portland is a city full of passionate people. On Monday, the Portland Timbers, a Major League Soccer expansion franchise in 2011, announcedthat they had surpassed 10,000 season-ticket sales for their inaugural season. That's a one, followed by four zeros. For soccer. In the United States. PGE Park, where the Timbers will play upon completion of a $31 million renovation, will hold approximately 20,000 people. Season ticket sales have been capped at 12,000. The Portland Trail Blazers at one time rode the longest-consecutive sellout streak in NBA history, a streak that only came to an end when fans began boycotting a team that had become known as the "Jail Blazers" for the players' off-court transgressions. The boycott and empty seats, which I would argue came from a place of passion for the franchise, ultimately led to a complete rebuilding of the roster. Now, the team once again sells out regularly. To the south, the University of Oregon and Oregon State University have both benefited greatly by drawing on fan support from Portland. The lanes of Interstate 5, Oregon's main traffic artery, become a parking lot for miles on game days at both universities. In Portland, such strong fan support might not be passion after all. It could be simple economics. The metro area is the largest in the country with only one professional franchise in the "big four" leagues - the NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL. In fact, when cities are ranked based on population per sports franchise, Portland tops the list as the most under-served metro area in the United States (see data below). Citizens of Portland are simply starved for sports options, so much so that Oregonians account for a significant number of Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Mariners ticket sales and television viewers. A November 2007 press release from the Mariners indicated that the team is "a strong product for FSN Northwest in Portland, averaging a 2.3 rating" from 2005-2007. That rating is actually higher than the hometown numbers of five MLB franchises during the first half of the 2010 baseball season, according to a Sports Business Journal report. Maybe it's the sports starvation that fuels the Rose City's passion. Is Portland the most passionate sports community in the nation? Perhaps. But one thing's for sure - the Timbers are cashing in.
