This past summer I had the unique opportunity to work an internship in Oregon. While on the west coast, I had the opportunity to visit some family in Portland. The weekend I visited ended up being my Birthday and my cousin had gotten me tickets to the Portland Timber vs. Seattle Sounders game. I had never been to a professional soccer game, and Providence Park did not disappoint. Comparatively to my hometown of Tulsa, the city of Portland is extremely compact. The Stadium flowed directly with the city (made parking a hassle). The wooden benches at the stadium, although old, remained in great shape since they are not usually sat in. Even though the stadium was compact, once inside it opened in to a perfect U surrounding the pitch. Providence Park made me a professional soccer, but mainly a Timbers fan.
