Portland Expo Center Redevelopment

Metro contemplates skating rinks, sports courts, indoor fields at Portland Expo Center
The underutilized Portland Expo Center could be remade into a big sports complex with skating rinks, indoor turf fields for soccer, running tracks along with courts for basketball, volleyball and pickleball.
The Metro Council will discuss the proposal Tuesday, considering whether a big new athletic facility in North Portland could boost the region’s beleaguered visitor industry by attracting sports tournaments from outside the area.
The price tag may prove prohibitive to some of the project’s wider ambitions — one proposal’s estimates approach a half-billion dollars. Other scenarios with fewer amenities are projected to cost around a quarter-billion dollars.
