TA looking good on TV
After much debate and fence-hopping, I decided to stay home for last night’s Timbers debut vs. Colorado. While I had every intention of going out somewhere (anywhere) to witness history with my fellow...
View ArticleTA Away Game Travel Guide to Los Angeles
Editor’s Note #1: This is the first in a new series of our guide to cities where the Timbers are playing away games in 2011. I travel quite a bit for work and play, so I figured I could impart some...

How do I even approach preparing an away guide to our rival city? It’s not that far away, so chances are we’ve all been there at least once outside of away game travel scenarios. Some of us are even...
View ArticleTA Away Game Travel Guide to Dallas
Even though it’s in the state of Texas, it’s pretty hard to hate on the city of Dallas right now. After all, their basketball team’s defeat of the Big 3 in the NBA Finals might have actually saved...

I love Chicago. No joke. If I had to live anywhere east of the Rockies, it would rank in my top 3. However, my extreme hatred for heat and humidity prevent me from ever living anywhere east of the...
View ArticleTA Away Game Travel Guide to Columbus
Columbus, Ohio. I’ve never been there. In fact, I don’t know many people who have. Even friends of mine from Cleveland and Cincinnati don’t have much of an opinion on it. It’s just one of those...
View ArticleTA Away Game Travel Guide to San Jose
Author’s note: I know we still have a mid-week match against the LA Galaxy this week prior to the away match in San Jose this weekend, but try to look past for our purposes here. Thanks. Do you know...
View ArticleTA Away Game Travel Guide to Houston
Houston is the largest city in the United States that I have not set foot in. I’ve been to every other major city in Texas, so I feel like I’m somewhat familiar with it. However, I don’t feel that...

For reasons I won’t get into, this particular blog entry comes without any local input. I have been to KC before, but it’s been about 10 years, so I’m willing to give some major benefit of the doubt...
View ArticleTA Away Game Travel Guide to Washington, DC
I’ve been to DC a couple times. I was 11 years old the first time I went. It was part of a pilgrimage to the Boy Scouts Jamboree many summers ago. I remember all kinds of historical monuments, unique...
View ArticleTA Away Game Travel Guide to Philadelphia
I like Philadelphia, and I don’t like that I can’t be there more often. Trading Places was filmed there. Ween and the Dead Milkmen are from there. Then there’s all that history stuff like the Liberty...
View ArticleTA Away Game Travel Guide to New York
New York is one of my all-time favorite cities…to VISIT. For about four days. Then it’s time to bail. As a former (post-college) resident of Los Angeles, and having grown up with the inability to...
View ArticleTA Away Game Travel Guide to Vancouver
Even during a hockey riot, Vancouver is a lovely city. (Proof right here.) I’ve been there a few times, and one of those is actually recent. I got the whirlwind tour from my hosts, and I learned that...
View ArticleTA Away Game Travel Guide to Salt Lake City
I been to SLC quite a few times, but my more recent visits have been in the form of layovers. It’s been a while since I’ve been in the city proper. Since I have a ticket to see The Book of Mormon on...
View ArticleTA Away Game Travel Guide to New England
Let’s just call New England what it really is: Boston. We could spend this time droning on about how Gillette Stadium isn’t even in Boston (it’s actually 30 miles away!), or how the Revolution’s...
View ArticleTA Away Game Travel Guide to Montreal
I’m just gonna start by stating the obvious: I’m not a fan of Montreal. I don’t mean the team. I mean the city. I’ve been there twice, and each time sucked. The closest I’ve ever come to a legit...
View ArticleTA Away Game Travel Guide to Denver
I must admit I haven’t spent much time in Denver. In fact, I’ve spent more time in the airport during layovers than in the city itself. Thankfully, I managed to get in touch a Timbers hero of recent...
View ArticleTA Away Game Travel Guide to Toronto
I love Toronto. Hard to believe, I know, especially given my past rants about both Vancouver (cuddly-but-rival town) and Montreal (French people). I’ve been to Toronto a few times, and each time it...

The Timbers make their only 2014 regular-season appearance in Seattle on Sunday, July 13th, the same day as the final match of the World Cup. This should make for an epic event in the annals of...
