One thought on “Pre-Application conference scheduled for Under Armour’s new Portland home

  1. It would be awesome if Under Armour could partner with Portland Parks and upgrade that Grass Field inside the track… I hate to say it but the synthetic turf would be better suited there…Drainage has always been a problem….Even like three or four days after a shower….
