It's official, the home of the Blazers is now called the "Moda Center". I
am not a fan. The Rose Garden was a perfect name, free of big wig branding. It
captured the DIY style of Portland. The Moda weed has sprouted
up in the Rose Garden. At least Moda Health is a NW based company. Formerly known as ODS as of May. I guess that's a saving point, of some
sort. *Sigh* Whatever.

| Hey! 13 is a lucky number, right? |
"The Rose Garden put us on the map, the Moda Center's going to take
us into the future," Trail Blazers president and CEO Chris McGowan
said.
Really? The future?
Will free
agents go: "Hey, forget Los Angeles, did you hear that the Blazers now
play in the 'Moda Center'? I'm gonna sign there!" Get real.
The future of the team is decided by the play on the court, not by a new name and logo on the court.
