The Hillsboro Hops stadium is not great but it's mostly covered if the weather is bad. About 20 min west of portland proper so much more quiet out there. Hotels aren't bad in beaverton/hillsboro area either
I have yet to be remotely impressed by Sac area sports reporting. Constant errors and much a do about nothing. Often find myself asking "did anyone even read this??"
Agreed. What do you really stand for as a program if every season is a whole new host of coaches and players.. Might work now, but identity is important for the long term
