ADA Section Bare Bones
Moda Center - Portland
While the ADA section is very accessible for wheelchairs and the folding chairs have cushions, there is no place to put a cup. We already have to keep food on our lap, so leaning down to the floor to pick up a cup and take a sip is a problem if you don’t want to get food on your clothes. The stationary seats have cup holders, and we pay the same or more for tickets, so it seems we who accompany a person in a wheelchair are getting less quality in the ADA seating section. We have also seen people sitting in the ADA section who clearly have no physical disability.

Moda Center is nice!
Moda Center - Portland
Love the venue, the parking garage is very convenient, and the Celtics won! Food and drink prices are very high all over, too bad vendors don't walk through sections to sell their snacks, but a great time had by all.

Blazer game fun
Moda Center - Portland
The game was fun, the prices for everything are now beyond ridiculous, I do not how they think families can visit and afford any food or drink.

Lousy experience
Moda Center - Portland
Poor half time show and poor strategy for allowing bangers to be issued to the entire building. Don’t care if they are being used during free throws but the entire game for idiots behind is as well as by younger kids where no parental discipline as to when to use them. We left after third quarter. Couldn’t enjoy the game at all.

Blazers and Moda center seem to be all they can to make watching a struggling team fun. And a great opportunity to see a really good team up close

I attend every home game & witness the rampant waste
Moda Center - Portland
I am a die hard Blazers fan. I love our home team. I support and encourage them in the toughest of times and celebrate with them in every success and step towards development. I absolutely hate hearing our head coach get booed at home games. I am with Chauncey. ♥️ We have GOT to do more to curb the rampant wastefulness and abhorrent polluting of our beloved Rip City happening every home game at Moda and the Rose Quarter in general. How can we claim to love our city when we TRASH it at EVERY event? Yes, I see and vehemently support all the new initiatives I see at Moda each season. The REUSE cup program is AWESOME. LOVE IT! The sorting of waste for compost, recycling, and landfill - I applaud! Swapping plastic straws for plant-based ones, using compostable food containers…every single step towards a more respectful event is noticed and hugely appreciated. The first thing I would remove from our games are the single-use plastic noise makers that I see end up overflowing the trash bins after every. Single. Game. And it drives me frickin NUTS. I’m all for making noise! But these plastic tubes - each with a tiny plastic straw to inflate the thing - hundreds (if not thousands) used once at each game and thrown away or tossed somewhere outside Moda - ending up god knows where (probably in the river, then the ocean) are INSIDIOUS. I hate them. With a passion. I BEG OF YOU, please please please figure out a different material to use for noise makers. Is there something we can make out of recycled paper than can then be recycled again? Or at least something that will BIODEGRADE? Let’s get on the right side of history here, Moda folks. Green initiatives are not just about optics. We love our city, let’s act like it! CANCEL those plastic tubes. And GO BLAZERS!!! P.S. Matisse Thybulle (defensive Disruptor) & Jabari Walker (REBOUNDER) should start every game to help prevent runaway first quarters. :) The end.

Blazer game review
Moda Center - Portland
The overall experience was fun, from buying the tickets to walking over to my seat. It's a shame the Blazers aren't bigger competition in the league, but that wouldn't stop me from visiting again.
Portland Trail Blazers at Moda Center
Any fan who witnesses the Trail Blazers at Moda Center (formerly known as the Rose Garden) understands how Portland got the nickname "Rip City." The atmosphere is electrifying. The arena, opened in 1995, has undergone a series of renovations over the years to enhance the fan experience, including significant upgrades in 2014. From the memorabilia-lined hallways to the dozen retired jerseys presiding over the bowl, Moda Center is a place where the NBA's most knowledgeable fans relive -- and continue to experience -- basketball history.

Portland Trail Blazers History
The Trail Blazers joined the NBA in the 1970 expansion. Despite the presence of back-to-back rookies of the year Geoff Petrie and Sidney Wicks, they struggled, finishing last in their division five of their first six seasons.
Then, in a remarkable reversal, they went 49-33 in the 1976-77 season, led by big men Bill Walton and Maurice Lucas, guards Lionel Hollins and Dave Twardzik, and head coach Jack Ramsay. After defeating the Chicago Bulls, Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers in the first three rounds of the playoffs, they found themselves pitted against a powerhouse Philadelphia 76ers team led by Julius Erving, Caldwell Jones and George McGinnis in the NBA Finals. After losing the first two games of the series, they stormed back to win four straight to capture the franchise's only championship.
Title in hand, the Blazers would go on to make the playoffs 25 of the next 26 seasons. For 12 seasons starting in 1983, the catalyst was guard Clyde Drexler. In the 1989-90 season, with All-Star forward Buck Williams joining the team, the Blazers again made the NBA Finals, falling in five games to the Detroit Pistons. They posted a franchise-best 63-19 record the next season but succumbed to the Lakers in the Conference Finals. Another trip to the NBA Finals awaited in 1991-92, but the Blazers lost in six games to a Chicago Bulls team led by Michael Jordan.
The Blazers' forays in the playoffs continued through the 2002-03 season, with two of those trips, in 1998-99 and 1999-00, ending in losses in the conference finals.
The Trail Blazers had another good season in 2020-21, reaching the playoffs in the competitive Western Conference. They ultimately lost to a very good Nuggets team despite another standout performance from star Damian Lillard. Lillard remains the stalwart of the franchise, finishing third in scoring at 28.8 points per game and seventh in assists.
