Seems to be a case of WP:TOOSOON as Wikipedia isn't a crystal ball. Since there's not even an expansion franchise in Portland, I think it's hard to justify an article on a ballpark that may or may not be built in a city that may or may not have a MLB franchise at some point in the future.

- Delete, per WP:CRYSTALBALL. See these articles: [1], [2]. Way too speculative at the moment. — Stevey7788 ( talk) 16:51, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
- Delete, fails both CRYSTAL and GNG. Staszek Lem ( talk) 17:25, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
- Keep there are other articles for proposed stadiums such as Oakland Ballpark, Rays Ballpark, and Ybor Stadium. SportsFan007 ( talk) 19:06, 21 March 2019 (UTC)SportsFan007
- Comment @ SportsFan007: What are your thoughts on the difference here being that Portland does not have a franchise whereas Oakland and Tampa Bay are established franchises? Cubbie15fan ( talk) 20:10, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
- Delete There was plenty of nattional coverage when the ballpark was announced but I have seen little coverage in the ~half year since. Would need more coverage over time to show lasting notability. Ideally this would include it actually starting to be built rather than merely proposed. Best, Barkeep49 ( talk) 23:53, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Stadium is not yet built, so this article is too soon. TH1980 ( talk) 03:17, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
