where do viks play during remodel?

I don't see what the big deal is about playing in Hillsboro for one season. The trade off is worth it if we end up with a much better version of PGE, and besides, it is only for five or six dates.
 
So is there zero chance at all that we'd play even one home game at 'home' next season?

If we play a couple of road FBS games and see if we could play the first couple BSC games on the road, that would give about eight full months (yeah, some of it would be winter months) of construction time. I'm sure that if I were to look at their renovation project plan, it's probably out of the question, but it sure would been nice if they could get a couple of our games in there while the east side construction is going on.
 
The Portland Timbers play into October. If they make the finals, they would play to the end of October. So the worst case would be half of October and November at PGE would off the schedule. I have to believe that Randy Leonard, Portland City Council member and PSU alum would insist that PSU be able to play the complete season at PGE. It would only delay construction for a couple of weeks depending on how scheduling works out.

Moving to Hillsboro costs us fan support. The whole east side of Portland won't drive out to Hillsboro.

I guess I'm thinking about how little fan support we have to begin with, as in half of none is still none. Sorry, I'm feeling very "half empty" today. Truthfully, even if attendence is down for that one season, I feel confident that it would bounce back the next year.
