Some say yes and some say no. You saw how empty the stadium was...that's the naysayers argument. The pros say Portland isn't a 'minor league' town and would support a major league team. I'm not sure. The stadium is cool, mainly due to it's location, but is too small for MLB.
An semi-interesting fact on this subject is that the owner of both the Beavers(minor league baseball) and Timbers(minor league soccer) teams that play at that stadium is Henry Merritt Paulson III...goes by Merritt...the son of the US Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Merritt Paulson Jr.
