Hey, I don't know if anybody is planning a 10-Club get together in Portland, but I'd recommend the Slow Bar on Grande Ave. http://www.slowbar.net/
It's a cool little bar and they do serve amazing burgers. As others have mentioned, there's really not much at all around the Rose Garden, but this place is on the East side and is about 1.5 miles from the venue. One could probably walk to the show in about 20 minutes.
You know...if anybody is planning anything. If not, I'll be partying at the house before the show...
The Slow Bar is great. They do have fantastic burgers. It seems like it could be a bit small for a get together, but I imagine with the football game going on, quite a few locals will be watching football and not attending a pre-party anyway so maybe it would be big enough.

Portland biking style and culture from the NY Times:
Hi, everyone. I'm travelling solo from Brazil and looking to swap my pair of Portland 10C RS tickets for a single Portland GA ticket. Anyone interested in swapping? Thanks!
The obvious question would be - what is your 10c number? I have done this before with not a great outcome....
I'll be in reserved 180xxx. I have a question! Anybody have suggestions of a place nearby (as close as possible) to watch the Civil War. That's the reason I picked reserved because I can't miss that game (Go Ducks!). Oh yeah, good chance I'm taking my almost 6 year old daughter to the concert so the place needs to be kid friendly... anything?
I am there in reserved seats. My 1st PJ show was at the Rose Garden back in 1998. This will be my 3rd PJ show at the Rose Garden. For an arena concert you cant beat the sound. Cant wait! But driving back home to Eastern Oregon as soon as the show is over. Which will blow!! But that way my buddy and I arent in to much of a rush to get to Spokane the next night....
I booked a room (king) at the Crowne Plaza Portland-Downtown Conv Ctr for $99/night (AAA rate). Never stayed there before but it seems fairly close to the venue. I'm open to other/better suggestions if others are willing to share.
I'm booking there. 7 minutes away from the show https://maps.google.ca/maps?saddr=Crown ... s&t=m&z=17 & free shuttle bus to & from the airport which is an added bonus. Last time I stayed at the Crowne Plaza was back in Hartford '08. It was a pretty sweet hotel.
Complimentary Shuttle
The Crowne Plaza Portland is the only hotel in downtown Portland that offers airport shuttle service for its guests. We will be pleased to pick you up and drop you off at PDX, free of charge, just be sure to contact us in when you arrive at PDX to request a shuttle. We also offer a complimentary local area shuttle that will transport you comfortably and safely to any destination within a 3-mile radius of our hotel.
Crown Plaza = close to the Rose Garden
Crown Plaza = Not Downtown
I don't know anyone who considers anything on the east side of the river "downtown". Not that it matters much, but its not downtown....just interesting how hotels market themselves online to out-of-towners.
Can still take the free shuttle service they offer to go downtown, right?

There's a pretty great sports bar called the Spirit of 77, right accross from the Convention center. It's walking distance. Otherwise, there is Widmer or Gotham Tavern on the yellow line, about a mile from the Rose Garden. However, I'm not sure how big their screens are.

Do you know if kids are allowed in Spirit of 77? Thanks for the input

Nice! Thanks! Not sure a sports bar on Civil War day would be the best place to try and gather even more people FWIW :-D

Thanks for posting that, jmo, I didn't see it come up on any searches. It looks like a place I can be pretty obnoxious during the game and not be considered embarrassing like if I was at a regular bar.

I've only been here a couple times before Blazers games, but it's a cool space. Because of their location, they really only get a huge crowd before games. It could be an option for the pre party. What do you guys think? Should I give them a call?
I'm in (+1) for GA. Guaranteed to be the shortest there, at 4'11". Hope I get to see something!
So what time are you GA folks getting there? (So I can beat you by 5 minutes )
