Since the Portland Timbers joined Major League Soccer in 2011, the North End of Providence Park has been home to the tifo displays of the Timbers Army. Driven by a passion for their city and its club, the Timbers Army have put up display after impressive display, culminating in the “Happy Little Trees” tifo before Friday’s season opener against Minnesota United FC.
Inspired by painter and public broadcasting television host Bob Ross, the tifo covered most of Providence Park, getting fans involved not just in the North End’s Timbers Army sections, but in the east and west stands as well.
