Moda Center

{{further|topic=transportation and parking|Rose Quarter#Transportation and parking}}

Moda Center is a multipurpose arena which is suitable for numerous indoor sports, including basketball, ice hockey, arena football, and lacrosse, as well as for hosting other events such as concerts, conventions, and circuses.{{cite web|url=http://www.rosequarter.com/RoseQuarter/FunFacts/tabid/88/Default.aspx |title=Rose Quarter Venue Facts |publisher=Rose Quarter |access-date=October 23, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011042201/http://rosequarter.com/RoseQuarter/FunFacts/tabid/88/default.aspx |archive-date=October 11, 2007 }} The arena is located in a sports and entertainment district known as the Rose Quarter, a parcel of land in inner northeast Portland which also includes the Memorial Coliseum arena, as well as several parking structures, restaurants, and other amenities.

The original name of the facility was "Rose Garden"; however, the arena was also 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,{{cite news|title=Naming Stadium for Unitas Costly, Not Unprecedented |first=Jon |last=Morgan |url=http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/bal-sp.unitas17sep17,0,4799281.story |newspaper=The Baltimore Sun |date=September 17, 2002 |access-date=October 29, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041010210602/http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/football/bal-sp.unitas17sep17%2C0%2C2703334.story |archive-date=October 10, 2004 |url-status=dead }} 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".

In 2007, the Trail Blazers and Vulcan announced that they were seeking a corporate partner to grant naming rights for the facility, with the goal of a new name being available for the Blazers' 2008–09 season.{{cite news|title=Naming rights for Rose Garden for Sale|url=http://www.bizjournals.com/portland/stories/2007/12/10/daily26.html?ana=from_rss|newspaper=Portland Business Journal|date=December 12, 2007|access-date=December 13, 2007|archive-date=May 25, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110525200843/http://www.bizjournals.com/portland/stories/2007/12/10/daily26.html?ana=from_rss|url-status=live}} In August 2013, the Trail Blazers announced a 10-year deal with Moda Health, an Oregon-based health insurance provider, to rename the arena Moda Center.{{cite news|url=http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/index.ssf/2013/08/moda_center_rose_garden_gets_a_new_name_trail_blaz_1.html|title=Moda Center: Rose Garden gets a new name, Trail Blazers announce|date=August 13, 2013|newspaper=The Oregonian|access-date=August 13, 2013|archive-date=August 15, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130815193936/http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/index.ssf/2013/08/moda_center_rose_garden_gets_a_new_name_trail_blaz_1.html|url-status=live}}

The renaming spurred a public outcry and petition by fans and Portlanders who preferred the old name. Portland mayor Charlie Hales initially expressed concern about the name, calling it a "head scratcher".{{cite news

The building, designed by architecture firm Ellerbe Becket, has been criticized by some in Portland's architectural community. A survey of local architects and planners was conducted by the Portland Tribune, and subsequently Moda Center was listed among the five ugliest buildings in the city.{{cite news|title=The Lookers and the Losers|first=Peter|last=Korn|url=https://pamplinmedia.com/component/content/article?id=104339|newspaper=Portland Tribune|date=October 24, 2006|access-date=April 13, 2020|archive-date=April 21, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190421225314/https://pamplinmedia.com/component/content/article?id=104339|url-status=live}}

The arena has a total of over 14,000 permanent seats arranged in two bowls. An additional 1540 permanent seats are found in the arena's 70 skyboxes. Over 4,200 portable seats may or may not be installed, depending on the arena's configuration.{{cite book|title=Public/Private Finance and Development: Methodology, Deal Structuring, and Developer Solicitation|first=John|last=Stainback|year=2000|publisher=Wiley and sons|isbn=0-471-33367-0|page=123}} When configured for basketball, the arena has a capacity of 19,393, and can accommodate a total of up to 20,796 patrons with standing room. Prior to the 1998 NBA season the capacity was reduced to 19,980 from the original 21,485 spectators.The Rose Garden Years. The Oregonian, October 27, 2002. When configured for hockey or lacrosse, capacity decreases to 17,544. The arena supports numerous other configurations for events such as concerts, monster trucks, and circuses. The seating below the suites, known as the lower bowl, is further divided into the 100 and 200 levels. The upper bowl seats, above the suites, are the 300 level.

The arena features 70 Suites and 8 Skyboxes each with a seating capacity of 22 guests. Suites include amenities such as a wet bar, catering, a private restroom, multiple television monitors, and a sound system.

For smaller, more intimate events, Moda Center can be placed into a configuration known as the "Theater of the Clouds". This configuration, part of a trend of large arenas having smaller theater configurations,{{cite news |title="Theater" Setup Much Ado About Something|first=Pam|last=Sherborne|url=http://www.allbusiness.com/services/amusement-recreation-services/4590858-1.html|work=Amusement Business|date=September 27, 2007|access-date=October 29, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071102233148/http://www.allbusiness.com/services/amusement-recreation-services/4590858-1.html|archive-date=November 2, 2007}} places the stage at center court, and utilizes the western side of the arena.{{cite web|url=http://www.rosequarter.com/Home/SeatingMaps/tabid/57/Default.aspx |title=Rose Quarter seating map: Theater of the Clouds |work=Rose Quarter website |access-date=October 29, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012223802/http://www.rosequarter.com/Home/SeatingMaps/tabid/57/Default.aspx |archive-date=October 12, 2007 }} Custom floor-to-ceiling theater curtains are draped at the edges of the seating area, creating a more intimate setting. As of 2004, on average 10 events per year have been held in the Theater of the Clouds configuration.{{cite magazine |title=Arena Theaters Small But Nice|first=Ray|last=Waddell|url=http://www.allbusiness.com/retail-trade/miscellaneous-retail-retail-stores-not/4648338-1.html|magazine=Billboard|date=September 25, 2004|access-date=October 29, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071102233141/http://www.allbusiness.com/retail-trade/miscellaneous-retail-retail-stores-not/4648338-1.html|archive-date=November 2, 2007}}

Two concourses, the 100 level and the 300 level, are open to the ticket-buying public during events; the 100 level concourse provides access to the lower bowl (including the 200-level seats); the 300-level concourse provides access to the upper bowl. A third concourse, the 200 level, provides access to guest services such as a sports bar, a barbecue grill, an executive banquet facility, and several outdoor terraces. A fourth concourse, known as Suite Level, provides access to the skyboxes and is restricted to patrons who have skybox admission. All concourses provide a variety of concession stands. The arena also features 32 public restrooms; women's toilets outnumber men's toilets 3 to 1. There are Wi-Fi hotspots throughout the arena. The concourses are decorated with historical memorabilia.{{cite web|url=http://www.thesportsroadtrip.com/portlandtrailblazers.html|title=Rose Garden|work=NBA Venue Rankings|publisher=The Sports Roadtrip|date=April 1, 2001|access-date=October 29, 2007|archive-date=October 12, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012194113/http://www.thesportsroadtrip.com/portlandtrailblazers.html|url-status=live}}

The primary scoreboard is a Mitsubishi-manufactured HD video scoreboard. This scoreboard, which hangs from the ceiling over center court, features four 15 feet by 22.5 feet (4.5 m by 6.75 m) video screens, among the biggest in the NBA. The arena also features over 650 television monitors placed throughout, showing the action on court. Auxiliary scoreboards located both in the arena itself and the concourses provide statistical information, including "hustle" statistics for basketball (rebounds, blocked shots, and steals). Three media towers, one at each main entrance, provide video of other games in the NBA.

A unique feature found in no other multi-purpose arena is known as the "acoustical cloud". The acoustical cloud is a set of 160 rotating acoustic panels suspended from the Moda Center ceiling, 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.

The panels permit the acoustics of the arena to be adjusted according to the requirements of the event. For smaller events in which only the lower bowl of the arena is used, the panels can be lowered to further improve the sound and increase the intimacy of the arena. The acoustical cloud cost US$2 million to design and install.{{cite journal|url=http://www.panstadia.com/vol3/32-022.htm|title=Creating an atmosphere|journal=PanStadia |volume=3|issue=2|access-date=October 29, 2007|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071103044508/http://www.panstadia.com/vol3/32-022.htm|archive-date=November 3, 2007}} The arena is also equipped with a JBL sound system.

The acoustics of Moda Center have been widely praised compared to similar venues.

Moda Center is owned by the City of Portland, which acquired the arena from the Estate of Paul Allen in 2024.{{Cite web |date=2024-08-07 |title=City agrees to buy Moda Center, land for $7.13 million, plans 'major renovation' |url=https://www.koin.com/news/politics/city-moda-center-plan-major-renovation/ |access-date=2024-08-09 |website=KOIN.com |language=en-US}} Management and operation of Moda Center, along with other Rose Quarter facilities, is performed by Rip City Management, a sister company of the Portland Trail Blazers, also wholly owned by the estate of Paul Allen.

The arena's current primary tenant is the Portland Trail Blazers of the NBA. Both the Trail Blazers and Moda Center are ultimately owned by the estate of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, which also owns the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League. The head of the estate is his sister Jody Allen.

It was home to the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League, a Canadian-based junior hockey league. Both the Trail Blazers and Winterhawks previously played in the Memorial Coliseum and moved to the arena when it was completed in 1995. However, the Winterhawks played home games in both facilities during the season. Moda Center and Winterhawks hold the Western Hockey League's record for single game attendance with a crowd of 14,103 on March 15, 1997, in which Portland tied the visiting Seattle Thunderbirds, 6–6. Prior to the start of the 2021-22 WHL season, the Winterhawks announced they will be moving back to Veterans Memorial Coliseum full-time.[https://winterhawks.com/article/winterhawks-share-2021-22-regular-season-schedule Winterhawks Share 2021-22 Regular Season Schedule]

The arena was also built to accommodate an NHL franchise and there has been speculation over the years about Portland landing an NHL team; however this has not occurred. A former third tenant was the Portland Lumberjax of the National Lacrosse League, who played four seasons in the arena prior to disbanding.{{cite news|title=LumberJax Will Move From Portland|url=http://thetribonline.com/sports/story.php?story_id=124147797860507900|newspaper=Portland Tribune|date=May 4, 2009|access-date=April 24, 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161022081833/http://thetribonline.com/sports/story.php?story_id=124147797860507900|archive-date=October 22, 2016}}{{cite news|title=Portland Lumberjax Dispersal Draft Expected Tuesday, Plus Trade Rumours|url=http://www.nllinsider.com/2009/07/02/portland-lumberjax-dispersal-draft-expected-tuesday-plus-trade-rumours/|work=NLL Insider|date=July 2, 2009|access-date=July 7, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120310071001/http://www.ilindoor.com/2009/07/02/portland-lumberjax-dispersal-draft-expected-tuesday-plus-trade-rumours/|archive-date=2012-03-10|url-status=dead}}

The arena has hosted numerous other minor league sports teams as well. In 1997, an AFL team landed in Portland from Memphis as the Portland Forest Dragons. Two seasons later, they relocated to Oklahoma City. The arena started hosting another AFL team, the Portland Steel (originally called the Portland Thunder), from 2014 until it disbanded in 2016.{{cite web|url=http://www.arenafootball.com/sports/a-footbl/spec-rel/100213aai.html|title=Arena Football to Return to Portland in 2014|work=Arena Football League|date=October 2, 2013|access-date=October 2, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004213349/http://www.arenafootball.com/sports/a-footbl/spec-rel/100213aai.html|archive-date=2013-10-04|url-status=usurped}} From 2000 through 2002, the facility hosted the now-defunct Portland Fire of the WNBA.

On September 18, 2024, the WNBA announced their a new team to play in Portland, which will bring the league back to both the arena and Portland for the first time since 2002.{{cite web|title=Portland, Oregon Awarded WNBA's 15th Franchise|website=WNBA.com|url=https://www.wnba.com/news/portland-15th-franchise-announcement|date=September 18, 2024|access-date=September 18, 2024}}

In the early 1980s, as the National Basketball Association increased in popularity, it became apparent that the 12,888-seat Memorial Coliseum, which was the home of the Portland Trail Blazers at the time, was no longer an adequate NBA facility. The Trail Blazers had sold out every home game since April 5, 1977.{{cite news|title=Paul Allen's Tenure with the Trail Blazers |url=http://www.portlandtribune.net/news/story.php?story_id=34121 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071103013215/http://www.portlandtribune.net/news/story.php?story_id=34121 |url-status=dead |archive-date=November 3, 2007 |newspaper=Portland Tribune |date=February 28, 2006 |access-date=April 24, 2013 }} In 1988, the team was purchased by Paul Allen and made appearances in the NBA Finals in 1990 and 1992. Allen soon expressed a desire to build a new arena for his team, and in 1991 chartered the Oregon Arena Corporation, a private corporation with Allen as the sole shareholder, to build and operate a new facility.{{cite web|url=http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Portland-Trail-Blazers-Company-History.html|title=Company History: Portland Trail Blazers|publisher=Funding Universe|year=2003|access-date=October 24, 2007|archive-date=September 16, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110916220945/http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Portland-Trail-Blazers-Company-History.html|url-status=live}} The team soon made an agreement with the City of Portland to build a new multi-purpose arena on the Coliseum's parking lot.{{cite news|title=City Approves Blazers' Arena|author=Jeff Baker|newspaper=The Oregonian|location=Portland|date=June 24, 1993}}

A major factor in the choice of the site for the new arena was its close proximity to transit, with MAX Light Rail and bus service at TriMet's Coliseum Transit Center (later renamed Rose Quarter Transit Center) being adjacent to the site. In July 1995, the Portland Business Journal quoted the Trail Blazers' then-president Marshall Glickman as saying, "There is no doubt that transit made it possible for us to build here. The thing that burns everyone in terms of financing big projects like this is parking. The fact that we have a [light rail] stop outside our front door, and the potential for what we'll get with the south/north line made this the only place for us to build."{{cite news|last=Law|first=Steve|title=Developers aiming to ride the rails|work=Portland Business Journal|date=July 21, 1995|pages=1, 32, 33}} (The "south/north" MAX line referred to was a then-planned line from Clackamas Town Center to Vancouver via downtown Portland, which was canceled in 1996, but partially revived several years later, with the MAX Yellow Line connecting Moda Center with areas to the north.)

The financing of the construction of the facility was widely hailed at the time as a good example of public-private partnership; most of the costs were borne by Allen and/or Allen-owned companies, rather than by taxpayers.{{cite news |title=Private Backers Pungle up $227.3 Million for Arena|author=Steve Brandon|newspaper=The Oregonian|location=Portland|date=June 25, 1993}} The bulk of the $262 million construction costs were funded by a $155 million loan from a consortium of lenders led by pension fund TIAA-CREF. As Allen was unwilling to guarantee the loan with his personal finances, the lenders demanded an interest rate of 8.99%, with no opportunity for prepayment.{{cite news|title=Rose Garden Woes May Wilt Arena Financings|url=http://seattle.bizjournals.com/seattle/stories/2004/03/15/tidbits1.html|newspaper=Puget Sound Business Journal|date=March 12, 2004|access-date=October 24, 2007|archive-date=August 4, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110804221945/http://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/stories/2004/03/15/tidbits1.html|url-status=live}} Other major creditors included Prudential Insurance, and Farmers Insurance.{{cite news|title=Bankruptcy as a Business Strategy|first=Helen|last=Jung|url=http://blog.oregonlive.com/playbooksandprofits/2007/02/bankruptcy_as_a_business_strat.html|newspaper=The Oregonian|location=Portland|date=February 5, 2007|access-date=October 24, 2007|archive-date=October 31, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071031224025/http://blog.oregonlive.com/playbooksandprofits/2007/02/bankruptcy_as_a_business_strat.html|url-status=live}}

The arena was originally capable of seating 20,340 spectators for NBA basketball. Its capacity has since been reduced to 19,393 by subsequent modifications. At the time of its construction, the arena was a state-of-the-art facility. Although more recent NBA arenas have surpassed Moda Center in amenities, it still is well regarded as a facility. A 2005 survey by USA Today ranked the facility in the middle of the pack among the 29 NBA arenas; factors unrelated to the venue itself (such as ticket prices and entertainment offerings) are considered in the rankings.{{cite news|title=NBA arenas: Fantastic or not?|first=Greg|last=Boeck|url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/nba/2005-04-12-arenas-cover_x.htm|newspaper=USA Today|date=April 12, 2005|access-date=October 24, 2007|archive-date=August 17, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070817093352/http://www.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/nba/2005-04-12-arenas-cover_x.htm|url-status=live}}

Soon after the arena opened, it was the subject of several lawsuits seeking to enforce the Americans with Disabilities Act. One lawsuit (United States v. Ellerbe Becket, Inc.) was filed by the United States Department of Justice against architect Ellerbe-Becket; another (Independent Living Resources v. Oregon Arena Corporation) was filed by a disabled advocacy group against OAC. Both lawsuits alleged that Moda Center (and other facilities designed by Ellerbe Becket) did not provide adequate seating for patrons using wheelchairs, and that the line-of-sight of patrons in wheelchairs was frequently obstructed by standing spectators.{{cite news|title=Enforcing the ADA: A Status Report from the Department of Justice|url=http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/ada/octdec96.htm|year=1996|publisher=United States Department of Justice Civil Rights Division|access-date=October 26, 2007|archive-date=November 16, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071116170103/http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/ada/octdec96.htm|url-status=live}} The first case was settled with a consent decree, wherein Ellerbe Becket agreed to design future projects in compliance with the ADA;{{cite web|url=http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/ada/ellerbe.htm|title=Consent Order in re United States vs Ellerbe Becket Inc|year=1997|publisher=United States District Court, District of Minnesota|author=Judge Tunheim|access-date=October 26, 2007|archive-date=November 16, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071116180505/http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/ada/ellerbe.htm|url-status=live}} the lawsuit against Oregon Arena Corp was resolved in 1998 when OAC agreed to install over one hundred elevated seats permitting wheelchair-using patrons to see over standing spectators in front.{{cite news|title=Score One for the Disabled|first=Tom|last=Farrey|url=http://www.businessweek.com/1998/48/b3606136.htm|work=Bloomberg Businessweek|date=November 19, 1998|access-date=October 26, 2007|archive-date=May 23, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110523013632/http://www.businessweek.com/1998/48/b3606136.htm|url-status=dead}}

{{main|Rose Garden arena bankruptcy}}

Claiming the local economy was responsible for reduced revenues which made it unable to make payments on the loans used to finance construction, the Oregon Arena Corporation filed for bankruptcy on February 27, 2004.

While Moda Center has never hosted the NBA Finals (Portland's last appearance in the Finals was in 1992, three years before the arena opened), it has hosted three NBA Western Conference Finals series: in 1999 vs. the San Antonio Spurs; in 2000 vs. the Los Angeles Lakers; and in 2019 vs. the Golden State Warriors. One NBA-related event Moda Center—and for that matter, the Trail Blazers franchise—has never hosted is the NBA All-Star Game. The Trail Blazers are one of several franchises to never host an All-Star game; the Blazers' All-Star drought of 42 years is second only to the Boston Celtics, who last hosted the game in 1964. According to the Oregon Sports Authority, the main issue is hotel space close to the arena; the city of Portland lacks the large "headquarters" hotel needed to host the NBA and media entourage which accompanies the game.{{cite news|title=Ill-Starred: Why Portland Never Gets the All-Star Game|first=Paul|last=Gerald|url=http://wweek.com/editorial/3215/7246/|newspaper=Willamette Week|date=February 15, 2006|access-date=October 26, 2007|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071018142640/http://wweek.com/editorial/3215/7246/|archive-date=October 18, 2007}}

Moda Center has also hosted PBR Built Ford Tough Series bull riding events.

The arena has hosted various WWE events, including Unforgiven in 2004, No Mercy in 2008, and NXT TakeOver: Portland in 2020.

In 2004, Portland was selected as one of five cities in the U.S. to host the Dew Action Sports Tour, a new extreme sports franchise to start in 2005. Titled the Vans Invitational, the event was held at the Rose Quarter from August 17 to 21. The Rose Quarter hosted BMX: Dirt and Freestyle Motocross.

In 2009, the arena hosted first- and second-round games of the NCAA men's basketball tournament as well as in 2015 and 2022. It was the first time NCAA men's tournament games were played in the state of Oregon since 1983, though the arena did host the finals of the 2008 Big Sky Conference men's basketball tournament. The state had been under an NCAA-imposed tournament embargo due to sports betting being legal in the state (specifically, the Oregon Lottery's "Sports Action" game, a parlay game which allowed bettors to wager on NFL games), but was awarded 2009 tournament games when the state Legislature eliminated Sports Action from the lottery's lineup.{{cite news|title=Basketball: Portland to Host Men's NCAA Tournament Games in 2009 |agency=Associated Press |url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/collegesports/2003109315_webncaa06.html |newspaper=The Seattle Times |date=July 6, 2007 |access-date=October 25, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071103005131/http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/collegesports/2003109315_webncaa06.html |archive-date=November 3, 2007 }}
