Portland Timbers

This is for the team store not the stadium. Went in the weekend before Christmas to get some championship gear. First off, the store smells like a locker room. I know a lot of sweaty soccer players come thru their doors but yikes! Get an air freshener. Or make a Timbers one and sell them. Let alone use them. The staff looked overworked and not completely psyched to be there on a Sunday. Didn’t feel a stellar reception from them. And then not too mention how much the stuff I bought was?! Are we playing royalties to the MLS insignia on top of the Timbers trademark or what? Good thing I don’t buy that stuff often.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I got an invite to the Timbers game but it was probably what I think the closest experience is to a real football match in the US. I sat in the main cheering section and it was probably the most fun I’ve ever had at a sporting event. Nanananananana… Nananananana…

Great place to see games! Awesome fan base. Overpriced food & beverages-​but isn’t that to be expected… Support our teams! So buy your tix and get onboard!!!

The atmosphere at a Timbers game is as good as it gets in the United States and rivals the best environments anywhere. The supporters stick with their boys through the good times and bad, and are generally knowledgeable about the game and the players. The management does need to pony up some $$$ to sign some quality footballers to stay competitive in the MLS these days. They see to have the mentality they are going to find some budget, «diamond in the rough players» in the second division leagues in Argentina, Columbia, and Ghana and that has, with a few exceptions, generally not panned out well. RCTID!

Non can compare to sitting in the army. Sec 101 is a welcomer of all. Take it to heights of frivolity. There is no cpmparison to sitting or ahould i say standing and jumping and shouting and cheering with 1000 of your closest friends for the next hour. Shake your keys as they announce the opposing team and cheer as they announce the Timbers. Get ready to know tour cheers be prepared if need be go to the website and get the words

Timbers good. Key Club bad. If you want to see a timbers game do yourself a favor and don’t overpay for what is advertised as the luxury key club experience. Bad service, oversold seating, and the complementary food from vendors appears to be purposefully unappetizing so you will be forced to purchase decent food. Which wouldn’t be all that bad if the price differential between Key seats and regular seating was closer. So save your Money and buy a good non Key seat and enjoy Some beer better grub and some swag while you’re at it.

I have been going to MLS games since its inaugural season in 96 and Timbers matches are hands down above anything in the history of the league.
The atmosphere, vibe and culture is not matched by any other team in MLS. The Timbers Army are one of the most authentic football supporters firm anyone can experience here in the states. If you are a sports fan in general, make a Timbers match a bucket list item.

Holy team spirit batman! Wow! This brings a whole new element of tradition to Portland! Our seats were sideline to the timbers army, and for someone who is fairly oblivious to sports, this takes team spirit to a whole new level! Fun fun fun! I have a new favorite sport. Made me even prouder to be a portlandian!

Second best atmosphere for a soccer game in North America (first goes to Seattle Sounders hands down).
Be prepared to stand if you’re in the supporters section with the Timbers Army.

Has the greatest fans ever, I really enjoyed the vibe at the game and the players were really fantastic. The seats were great for the price, but the only thing that I have a problem with is the marketing team.
We mentioned to them that we were from Hawaii, and it was the boys first time seeing a professional soccer game. We didn’t ask for anything, but we got an unhelpful response.

What a great place to watch a soccer match! My compadres and I were smack dab in the middle of the Timbers Army back in April and had a really great time! I appreciate what my friend had to do in regards to securing tickets and seats for the match. I had no idea the hoops Timbers Army ticket holders have to jump through by lining up at the stadium the day before (or day of) the match to get wristbands so you can sit in the general admission/​Timbers Army section. Then on match day you hustle to get to your preferred seats and save them for your friends. It reminds me when we used to send pledges down to Husky Stadium to save seats for the upperclassmen!
I really like that they play in repurposed Providence Park which was formerly known as PGE Park — the former home of the PCL Portland Beavers Baseball Club. The grandstand really amplifies the cheering!
Only negative for me is security which I would give one star because there was a guy in my row that had a large folded knife hanging outside of his vest. How can you miss something like that?

Undeniably the best time you’ll have at any sporting event. The atmosphere is electric and the game is exciting to watch. The players are also very very nice when they meet the kiddos that come to the games. My son looooves Nagbe and he couldn’t be nicer when you see him in person. Just a class act organization from top to bottom.

I finally went to my first Timbers game, and aside from the fact that they tied, it was quite an experience. My seats were not too close the Timber Army, so I didn’t get the full experience, but I loved the game from beginning to end. I loved the way they do the National Anthem, with everybody waving their flags (scarfs) and the game was very exciting. I can’t wait to go to another game. Our seats were near the goal away from the Army, but every seat in the house seemed to be a good one.

Electric atmosphere! Go Timbers! Always a great time. So entertaining watching the Timbers Army the entire game. Everyone has such great energy. It’s awesome seeing how MLS has made a name for itself here in Portland.
Been to two games in 3 weeks, and more to come!

I am absolutely thrilled with how this all turned out and continues to go. It’s very gratifying to be in a full stadium wherein everyone supports a Portland team with so much enthusiasm. There is a tremendous abundance of energy at each and every game. Bringing MLS to Portland proved to be a significant success.

Hooray Timbers!
Every game we’ve been to has been incredibly organized, safe, and of course, extremely fun. I love how all but one review is 5 stars for the Timbers, because they truly deserve this dazzling score!
The management of all Timbers games is flawless. I’m a newly converted fan thanks to my experiences watching the Timbers play and I am hooked.

When I root I root for the Timbers!
I felt like by the end of the match I had learned all of the chants! I come from Houston where we have the Dynamo. But in a city like Houston, there is so much to do as far as sports that I don’t get to experience the Dynamo to the fullest. However, here in Portland the Timbers are the team!
I had the pleasure of getting to sit… scratch that… stand in the TImber’s Army section. They are loud they are crazy, but it was a blast.
The team itself is very skilled. Lots of offense and solid on defense. If anything they have motivated me to get tickets for the Dynamo in their crazy fan’s section.

The singing, cheering, jeering, chanting, the revelry of it all creates an unique experience. Forget that it is a sporting event, as it seems that a majority of the fans are there for the European or more Worldly Soccer/​Football experience. The Timbers Army is where I’ve sat for the 3 games I’ve been able to make, and the group is as friendly as they are intense.
I couldn’t be more pleased with the style that the 2013 team plays under Coach Porter as it makes every match exciting and any money spent on tickets worth every penny. Seriously considering putting self on Season Tickets list!

Snagged a pair of Timbers Army tickets and decided to check it out for the first time. Even though I’m not a huge soccer fan, I got completely on board with the game experience and I had a blast. The Army’s a great group and the chants are wild and hilarious. The Tetris chant is hilarious and the others are very unique. I dig the tributes the Army makes to several foreign clubs whose chants inspired their own. Sat in Section 103 (or the 103^rd Ballistic Unit as they call it) and got to participate in a beautiful tifo display against homophobia. Great classy touch to the game!
Timbers won 3 – 0 as well so there was plenty to cheer for, and the stadium’s reaction to goals are amazing… green smoke everywhere. I’ll definitely have to catch more games this season because that was too much fun.

With all the city and your management is doing,
PLEASE live up to the hype they are building.
Publicity and marketing is not cheap.
Play with your heart and soul.

To the crowd,
If you want to experience fun and frenzy, the Timber’s Army– Gen Ad area is where it’s at. Smoke bombs, flags and streamers. Cheers and yells. Booze and buddies. Good times.
If you have young kids, go to the designated areas for families. Do not sit at the Gen Ad area with the Timber’s Army and complain about profanities and drunken behaviour.
