NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is visiting Portland to attend a Trail Blazers game with Oregon Senator Ron Wyden, marking his first home game since February 2023. Wyden revealed that Silver and Wyden have been discussing arena renovations for months and are optimistic about the future of the stadium. The state legislature recently passed legislation to raise $365 million in bonds to fund arena renovations, which would use taxes on arena activities. The renovation is expected to cost $600 million and is dependent on public-private partnerships.
