Rose Garden Portland Oregon

Rose Garden Portland Oregon  – “A rose by any other
name…” If you’re searching for a Portland rose garden, it can actually
mean two different things to Portlanders: the Portland Rose Garden Arena,
which is home to numerous exciting Portland sports events, or the Portland rose
gardens
, as in Portland,  the City of Roses, known for our gorgeous
floral eye candy.  The Portland International Rose Test Garden, is one
fine example.

This page is about the other rose garden, the Portland sports arena, home
to the Portland Trail Blazers NBA team and several other popular sports teams.

From Wikipedia: “The official name of the facility is “Rose
Garden”; though the arena is commonly known as the “Rose Garden Arena
to disambiguate it from the International
Rose Test Garden
, also located in Portland. The name was chosen both to
reflect Portland’s reputation as the Rose City, and to reflect the importance
to basketball heritage of Boston Garden and Madison Square Garden  arenas
in Boston and New York City, respectively.  When the name was selected,
the remainder of the former Coliseum grounds were given the name “Rose
Quarter”.

The Portland Rose Garden Arena is one the largest indoor venues in
Portland, and the main sports venue, hosting up to 20,000+ spectators.
And, it is home to more than Blazers basketball.  The Rose Garden has
events of all types from ice hockey to rodeos, and conventions.

in addition to the Portland Rose Garden Arena, the Rose Quarter also includes
the Memorial Coliseum, Theater of the Clouds configuration, Exhibit Hall, and Rose Quarter

 Interesting Facts about the Rose Garden, Portland Oregon courtesy of
Wikipedia.com

Acoustical cloud: A unique feature found in no other multi-purpose
arena what is known as the “acoustical cloud”. The acoustical cloud
is a set of 160 rotating acoustic panels suspended from the Rose Garden
ceiling, and were intended to recreate the roar of noise that made the old
Memorial Coliseum one of the loudest buildings in the NBA. One side of each 10 feet by 10 feet
(3 m by 3 m) panel reflects sound, while the other side
absorbs sound. Each panel is shaped like an airplane wing, and is 8 inches (20 cm)
thick at the center and 4 inches (10 cm) thick at the edges.
The effect during Blazers games is to absorb the noise from the upper levels
and reflect it back down to the court.

Ownership: The arena’s current primary tenant is the Portland Trail Blazers of the NBA. Both the Trail Blazers and the Rose Garden are ultimately owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, who also owns the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League. The Trail Blazers have a lease agreement with the Rose Garden which runs through 2025, and an exclusive site agreement with the City of Portland requires the team to play all home games in Portland (not necessarily in the Rose Garden) through 2023.
