'We got the jewel:' MLB to Portland forum addresses impact and next steps in pro baseball push
Briefly

Mike Barrett, managing director of the Portland Diamond Project, emphasized that the push for bringing Major League Baseball to Portland is at an all-time high, highlighting increasing public interest and support for the proposal. He noted that the contents of a recent panel discussion reflect this enthusiasm, with many community members engaged in the conversation about MLB's potential impact on the area. The desire for a major league team is resonating throughout Portland as they move closer to making it a reality.
The Portland Diamond Project has made significant strides by signing a letter of intent to buy the 30.85 acres at Zidell Yards, located in the desirable South Waterfront area. With the expiration of a 120-day due diligence period approaching fast, the project team is working diligently to assess the viability of the site. If all goes well, they will embark on a challenging 42-month process to finalize the purchase and potentially lay the groundwork for a future MLB stadium.
