PORTLAND, Ore. — There are some things about the Portland Thorns’ Providence Park experience that should never be taken for granted. This reminder from Rocky Rodríguez helps.
During Friday’s media availability before this weekend’s visit from NJ/NY Gotham FC, the Portland midfielder was asked about what it will mean to be able to have the team’s full allotment of fans in attendance at home. On Sunday, the Thorns will have unlimited capacity at this 25,218-seat venue for the first time since October 12, 2019. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Thorns never had a home game with fans in 2020.
