Nearly a century after it first opened, Providence Park is poised for another transformation. The stadium – home to the MLS’s Portland Timbers – will undergo a modern, yet historically influenced, US$50m+, privately financed expansion project for the east side that will add approximately 4,000 new seats, a new street-level colonnade and a modernized expansion – all at no cost to the city or public.
An expanded Providence Park will make the stadium viable for the future and help ensure that Timbers and Thorns FC remain in their unique downtown location long-term, well beyond the expiration of the current operating agreement in 2035.
