With fewer than 125 memberships available, it will offer chef-driven menus, premium beer and wine, and a private, elegant setting to host clients and connect with peers. The Cascade Club combines exclusivity, comfort, and convenience with a uniquely Pacific Northwest feel.
Additionally, the organization has updated the Event-Level premium spaces Oro Fino and Riverside Club – bringing new life to two spaces for premium clients. Each update focused on improving the guest experience and offering more versatility in the spaces for unique setups and private events. Guests will experience updated menu offerings, redesigned layouts, fresh furniture, and designs throughout the clubs to give both spaces a new look and feel ahead of the 2025-26 season.
BROADWAY BRIDGE CLOSURE
As previously announced by Multnomah County, the Broadway Bridge will be closed to vehicle and Streetcar traffic for six months to replace the lift spans on the deck of the bridge. This closure has already begun and is scheduled to run until April 11, 2026. Please note that the south sidewalk on the bridge will remain open to cyclists, pedestrians, and those using mobility devices. Fans should give themselves extra time to arrive at Moda Center on gamedays and be prepared for alternate routes. For more information, visit the county website HERE.
ROSE QUARTER MURALS
Over the summer, the Rose Quarter collaborated with local artists to create beautiful murals throughout the Moda Center concourse and the Rose Quarter commons. On the Rose Quarter Commons between Moda Center’s North and South Entrances, a beautiful wall has taken shape with six distinct murals representing the idea of ‘Roots to Roses’. Roots to Roses came to life to celebrate the rich diversity and resilience of Portland’s communities, highlighting their historical roots and cultural blossoms like vibrant roses.
As part of the Albina Rose Alliance, the Trail Blazers worked with Albina Vision Trust to tap local artist Sharita Towne to bring life to the area outside the Rose Quarter Box Office with a beautiful circular mural. Towne used the neighborhood of Albina for inspiration for the piece. According to Towne, “It's a tribute to Black neighbors' collectivity, care, and celebration in Albina—an enduring love yesterday, today, and tomorrow.”
Within the Moda Center 100-Level Concourse, the organization tapped local artist Darren Todd to create two beautiful murals representing two iconic Portland neighborhoods – Hawthorne and Alberta. The Alberta mural honors the rich legacy of Portland’s Black community, highlighting merchants, musicians, creatives, and the lasting spirit of literacy and cultural empowerment that continues to thrive there. The Hawthorne piece pays tribute to the city’s beloved food scene and rainy-day charm, capturing the social energy that makes Portland unique.
VIDEOBOARDS
Trail Blazers fans will experience one of the most significant fan experience upgrades in Moda Center history when they walk into the bowl on Opening Night with the recently unveiled upgraded videoboards and center-hung screen. The highlight of the project is the dynamic LED endzone and corner displays totaling 7,520 square feet of screen space, more than one and a half times the square footage of an NBA court. The center-hung scoreboard has been enhanced, increasing in size by 56% to 2,092 square feet of seamless LED display with more than 13.5 million pixels. The updated design features continuous screens from corner to corner, and new underbelly displays will enhance visibility for courtside and lower bowl fans.
