Providence Park's expansion project will enable the Timbers to sell 3,000 to 3,200 new season ticketsProvidence Park
The Timbers' Providence Park expansion project "remains on schedule to be completed" by spring '19, according to Jamie Goldberg of the Portland OREGONIAN. The Timbers are "working hard to limit the impact of the construction on fans" during this season. No construction will "occur during games and no seats or sight lines are expected to be impacted by the construction." Timbers President of Business Mike Golub said that there are a "couple portions of the east side concourse and one east side entrance that will be closed during the home openers" for the Timbers and the NWSL Portland Thorns. The Timbers will be "adding a temporary entrance to the east side of the stadium and will be reaching out to fans about changes and closures ahead of the match" against Minnesota United on April 14. As construction continues, there "might be different things that fans have to navigate on a game-to-game basis." Golub said that the club will "inform fans of any changes prior to the matches." The Providence Park expansion project will "enable the Timbers to sell 3,000 to 3,200 new season tickets." Due to the construction, the Timbers are "playing their first five games of the MLS season on the road," while the Thorns have "played their first two matches of the season on the road" as well (Portland OREGONIAN, 4/6).
