If baseball can't move to Beaverton, then Portland may not get "major league soccer". This is seen by some as a terrible situation, although as Mike Ditka once noted, "if God had meant for people to play soccer, he wouldn't have given them arms".
If Paulson wants a stadium built for his Beavers to play in, no problem: let him build it . The Beavers have been doing okay in a park that was expensively renovated only a decade ago. Paulson wants to move them out to make way for "major league soccer", which is fine. He can pay to re-renovate PGE Park, and he can pay for a new Beavers stadium. The idea of using taxpayer money to build venues so that incredibly wealthy people have a place to put their teams is old and busted. We've better things to do with our limited cash than to build play-fields for playboys.
