Not only did he own the Seahawks, but he also owned the Portland Trailblazers. Teams had a hard time moving to Portland because the Blazers pretty much occupied the prime areas to build stadiums. Portland is also the largest sports market that only has one (of the big four) professional teams.Interesting! I always thought Portland was a cool City so it would be cool to see them have an NFL team! The Timbers have one of the Coolest atmosphere in sports; so I am all for them NFL team.
As for the topic, never say never, but I don't see the Bengals leaving Cincinnati.
With that being said I am not sure Portland would want to build a new stadium with Tax payer money? So would an Owner really want to spend a billion dollars on a stadium just to be in Portland?

They'd have to change their name though. Somehow Utah Bengals makes even less sense than Utah Jazz.Nah Jazz Still sounds weirder lol!
