This is Ray Gill (from Portland, OR...actually moved out here 3 years ago). I have met several of you guys when I travel up to Seattle and Vancouver. If you guys are planning on coming to Portland to catch our Reds play let me know and we can setup a place to meet and have fun. I can recommend great bars/food/hotels as well.
As for a meeting spot before the game, I would recommend either RiverPig Saloon (I know the owner so we can perhaps take over a section there) which is a great soccer bar! or North 45 on NW 21st which is a Timbers Army Bar
