GAME PLAN
Forge a path for fan-ownership in the MLB team currently being recruited to Portland
Imagine regular people raising $100M for a stake in the home team: One million $100 shares, limited to one per fan.
The people get a 5% stake and representation. The club gets a singularly-invested fan base, right out of the box. Win-Win.
Seattle’s 12th Man and the Timbers Army are inspiring examples of communities that transcend sport, where club loyalty becomes a family value. Letting baseball fans invest similarly — but more formally — guarantees we’ll have something to pass down.
Portland has a rich baseball history, but we’ve lost well-loved teams. Fan-ownership provides a framework for communication and mitigates some risk: A direct line connecting real people to the front office, allowing both to listen and engage.
Success in Portland won’t look like the 1%. Our aim is equity and access for the masses. It’s foundational to our pitch and it should be reflected within our community. We want passionate baseball fans spanning all walks of life to make the cut.
LOCAL SUPPORT
Portlanders are already major league fans. Let’s bring it home.
