This statement was issued after Merritt Paulson sent a conciliatory two and a half page letter to Beaverton Mayor Denny Doyle saying, the baseball stadium was not going to be built in time for his team to use it.
STATEMENT FROM MERRITT PAULSON
“I remain fully committed to finalizing the agreement with the City of Portland to bring Major League Soccer to Portland in 2011. I am disappointed that after exploring three specific stadium locations and making long-term financial commitments to help fund each facility that we’ve been unable to secure a new home for the Beavers. The Beavers will play next season at PGE Park and I will continue to assess all the options available to find a new home for the team.”
