After an extended time away, the Portland Trail Blazers will soon return to the Moda Center. The same could also be said for the fans in Rip City.
After playing almost the entirety of their 2020-21 home schedule in a largely empty build, the Trail Blazers will welcome roughly 1,900 fans back into the Moda Center for Friday’s game versus the Lakers, making it the first time since March 10, 2020, a span of 433 days, that they’ve played at home in front of a live crowd.
“I think everybody is excited about it,” said Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts.
