The final Portland Beavers ballgame at PGE Park is today, construction crews have already began final phase of PGE park's renovation for next year's MLS season. Initial work began last Winter as a large portion of turf was removed to pour foundations for the new east side stands. The turf was replaced in March for the final season of the USL Timbers. The stadium renovation will be completed in April just in time for the Timbers first home MLS match.

This past Winter, our elite photographer Double B, kept us updated with his pictures from high on his noble perch. Hopefully as construction resumes we will be getting more of these shots from our upper crust photographer.
