According to Jonathan Fowlie at the Vancouver Sun (click here for the original and all the details), the retractable roof has been approved and work will begin after the Olympics with the stadium ready by the summer of 2011.
What do you think? Excited that another part of the Northwestern contingent of MLS seems to be falling into place? As A Timbers Army member, are you concerned the situation with Paulson? Will the Northwest with Vancouver and Portland or the Northeast with Philadelphia entering be the the best set of new rivalries? What other stadium projects must get done or should get on the drawing boards?

No concern with Paulson and Timbers. It’s a done deal in Portland.

I guess you are just trying to get us in the NW to comment since is comical that you even suggest Northeast is going to be even close to what we will have out here in 2011. The Cascadia teams will dominate MLS!

Have you see the turf at quest field, it looks severe damage, really damage. Put it this way, the stadium gets grass or new artificial turf. It looks damage on TV, or the team can start thinking about a SSS stadium in 10 years for sure, a 40,000 seat SSS stadium. Well i know every Seattle Sounders fans say, but our stadium is SSS but not really. Revolution owner sucks, the Craft guy, who does not even no shit about the Revolution probably.
