Providence Park

Away fans who visit Providence Park, the home ground for Portland Timbers, are housed in Section 97 of the East Stand, located in the southeast corner of the stadium.

However, while sitting in this area offers a good view of the pitch, proximity to the home fans’ area and the stadium’s supporting columns can be obstructive.

The away section is also close to the restrooms and concessions, so we recommend checking the ticketing platform to reserve a seat with a great view and easy access.

The stadium was renovated in 1956 to reflect its growing usage within the community, with the city then purchasing the facility in 1966, renaming it Civic Stadium. This decision came after two failed attempts to establish a new domed venue in Delta Park.

Another renovation took place in 2001, when it was renamed PGE Park after Portland General Electric purchased the naming rights.

Further renovations occurred a decade later, with Jeld-Wen acquiring the naming rights shortly after, naming the venue Jeld-Wen Field. That lasted until 2014, when Providence Health & Services bought the naming rights, changing the facility’s name to Providence Park, just as it is today. The most recent expansion took place in 2019, where the capacity was raised to 25,218 as a multi-level facade was added to the East End.

Here are some popular chants at Providence Park by fans of Portland Timbers.

• Rose City ‘Til I Die
• You Are My Sunshine
• Can’t Help Falling in Love
• Green and Gold
• Portland Boys, We Are Here
• Hey Portland Timbers
• We’re the Timbers Army

The Civic Taproom & Bottle Shop is just seconds away from Providence Park, while M Bar and Kells Brew Pub are both just a ten-minute walk away.

Other nearby bars include Lightning Will Bar & Grill, The Waiting Room, and Pope House Bourbon Lounge. For restaurants, look no further than The Phoenix Restaurant, Chomp Chomp, Currents at the Riverhouse, and Bos Taurus, among countless others.

Providence Park is the oldest football-specific stadium in Major League Soccer, having existed in its current form since 1893. Over the years, it has had several different names, including Multnomah Stadium, Civic Stadium, PGE Park, and Jeld-Wen Field. Founded in 1891, Portland-based Multnomah Athletic Club constructed the facility for their amateur sports teams. The venue was then expanded into a complete stadium in 1926, with the wooden benches and upper seating bowl still existing to this day.

The stadium plays host to two football clubs: Portland Timbers of the MLS and Portland Thorns FC of the National Women’s Soccer League. Several United States national team matches have also been played at the venue, as well as Soccer Bowl ’77, the 1999 and 2003 Women’s World Cups, the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup, and the 2014 MLS All-Star Game.

Ticket prices at Providence Park vary depending on the match. Some matches cost as low as $10 for single tickets, while in some cases, you could pay $26 to watch Portland Timbers play at home.
