			<description><![CDATA["Vancouver's actual ticket sales have been reported as being deflating" They have? Do you have a source? I ask because when my deposit window opened for me to purchase my actual Whitecaps season tickets on the 2nd day of availability, at least 1/2 the lower bowl was definitely sold already (at least according to the seat selector software). That would be about 15,000 or so, and that was back in November. It was mostly corners in the lower bowl that were sparse, except for the Southsiders section. Just askin'...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[for crying out loud. He's looking at numbers, not the history of the club and its fans. Solid numbers and looking forward to the Cascadia rivalry being renewed. I like the idea of a pub at one end of the stadium!! Can we get Manny's Pale Ale for one game during the season? ;-)]]></description>

			<title>generate a fan base?</title>
			<link>http://www.oregonbusiness.com/the-latest/4609-timbers-rev-up-for-debut?device=xhtml#comment-1007</link>
			<description><![CDATA["It remains to be seen whether the Portland area can generate a long-term fan base for an MLS team. Soccer in America is growing, and Vancouver, of course, is in Canada." Whats funny is that as a Division II team Portland averaged almost 11k per game. That figured only being that low because two games in April where scheduled at the exact same time as Portland Trailblazer home playoff games. (that's a special feat for that team). As a matter of fact most games I was at, which totaled about 10. (all 17 next year) had anywhere from 12k to 15k, 15k being the max for a soccer match. So as a USSF Div-II team the Portland Timbers had better attendance than some of the MLS teams. May I also point out that in 2010 there were only something like 2500 season ticket holders from what I had been told. I just don't see Portland having a problem filling the stadium to capacity each game.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA["It remains to be seen whether the Portland area can generate a long-term fan base for an MLS team. Soccer in America is growing, and Vancouver, of course, is in Canada." The fanbase is already 'long-term'. Do your research fella.]]></description>

			<title>Vancouver &quot;deposits&quot; misleading</title>
			<link>http://www.oregonbusiness.com/the-latest/4609-timbers-rev-up-for-debut?device=xhtml#comment-1005</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Just to add in, Vancouver's actual ticket sales have been reported as being deflating, when compared to their deposit numbers. The Portland Timbers are doing far better, at least when it comes to actual ticket sales. One avenue of reasoning regarding this is that Vancouver overestimated demand with a price structure that is too high for their fanbase.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA["It remains to be seen whether the Portland area can generate a long-term fan base for an MLS team. Soccer in America is growing, and Vancouver, of course, is in Canada." Portland has already demonstrated it has a bigger fan base in Division 2 than some MLS clubs have. They've done that for years. How does it remain to be seen that Portland can generate a long-term fan base when they have already done just that? Are you just new to the party and just never paid attention before?]]></description>
