Portland Timbers MLS Stadium Renovation Revealed
The views are a look at the seats on the east side of the stadium along the Max line. This east side section will feature an additional 4,000 seats and include premium seats with full amenities including a restaurant.

- A newer and bigger video board will be hung in the south end along the MAC building.
