Timbers Looking To Expand Providence Park By 3,500 Seats

Timbers Mull Seat Expansion At Providence Park

The Timbers "are in the process of examining the feasibility of a new stadium expansion plan that could add up to 3,500 seats to Providence Park." Providence Park "currently seats 21,144 fans, but the demand for Timbers tickets is much higher." There are now "nearly 13,000 fans on the Timbers' season ticket waitlist." Earlier this year, the Timbers "had been looking into a plan that could add up to 2,000 new seats to Providence Park, but in recent months they've abandoned that initial plan and started to hone in on a new design that could add even more seats" (Portland OREGONIAN, 8/2).
