Blazing into a room wearing Portland Trail Blazers jerseys? Then amaze your friends with your Portland Trail Blazers knowledge, too! The trail Blazers are based in the green, lush city of Portland, Oregon, and are part of the Northwest Division of the NBA Western Conference. The Trail Blazers used to play in the Memorial Coliseum, before it moved its home games to the Rose Garden Arena in the mid-1990's.
The Trail Blazers have been based and played in Portland from its birth to today. The franchise began in 1970, as the only major league team in Oregon for any sport – until Major League Soccer gave birth to the Portland Timbers in 2011. The Trail Blazers franchise have a strong following: many of their games have been sold out, and they hold the record for the longest streak of sold out home games (from 1977 to 1995!). When the Seattle SuperSonics left for Oklahoma City, and the Vancouver Grizzlies went off to Memphis, the Trail Blazers were left as the only NBA team in the Pacific Northwest.
Today, Portland is the place to be if you love music, the arts, sports, and even business. You'll find a lot of quaint shops nestled in the lush Oregon roads. There's the sea and mountains to make your trip - and the next game - an even more fun experience.
