Providence Park Tickets & Events

Providence Park is a soccer-specific stadium in Portland, Oregon. The stadium first opened in 1926, making it the oldest soccer-specific stadium in American soccer. It has undergone several major renovations over the years, most recently in 2019. Today, Providence Park is the home field of the Portland Timbers of MLS and Portland Thorns FC of the NWSL. It has also hosted baseball and college football games, as well as many international soccer games and dozens of concerts. The stadium sits northwest of downtown Portland in the city’s Goose Hollow neighborhood. For soccer games, Providence Park has a capacity of over 25,000 fans.

Where are the Best Places to Sit at Providence Park

The best places to sit at Providence Park are either Club seats or Field seats, depending on your preference. Club seats are near field level and feature great sightlines, as well as comfortable seats and amenities, including food delivered to your seat. Meanwhile, Field seats put you literally on top of the field and extend across the entire sideline of the stadium that sits opposite of the team benches. For a unique game experience, buy tickets for sections 101-108 and 201-208. These are general admission sections and home to the Timbers Army, which is the official fan group for the Timbers, and the Rose City Riveters, which is the fan group for the Thorns.

Tips for Visiting Providence Park

Like most of the Pacific Northwest, Portland is prone to rain, so be prepared for that for any game at Providence Park. While the stadium has an overhang, it doesn’t cover every seat. If you want to stay dry, consider seats in the 200 level of Providence Park. Seats in the Club level and Field level are the most likely to get wet if there is rain. Also, be aware that because the stadium is old, some seats will be labeled as “obstructed view,” so double-check that before buying tickets.
