Guide To Upcoming Events At The Moda Center

The Moda Center is the Portland, Oregon mainstay sports venue. The Moda Center used to be called The Rose Garden, from 1995 until 2013. The Moda Center is owned by a company called Vulcan and is managed by Anshutz Entertainment and AEG Live, two of the biggest management companies in the world. The Moda Center sits at 1 Center Court, in the heart of Portland, Oregon. The original Rose Garden was built at a breathtaking cost of $262 million at the time of construction. In 2015 dollars, that translates to $406 million. The architect endeavoured to construct such a great venue was Ellerbe Becket. Ellerbe Becket is a Minneapolis based architecture firm that was founded in 1909. Today it is one of the biggest firms in the world with 475 employees in seven locations throughout three countries. They have designed buildings in every single state in the U.S. as well as twenty countries. The top of the line venue has seating capacities and courts/stages for basketball, ice hockey, lacrosse, center stage theatre and end-stage theatre. For basketball, the court now accommodates 19,441 fans. For Ice hockey, it accommodates 18,280. For the center stage concerts the Moda Center seats 20,500, and for the end stage, the Moda Center holds 15,000. It also offers a “theatre of the clouds”, seating 6,500. The Moda Center Theater of the Clouds is constructed to create an acoustic cloud using curtains and is designed for small and intimate performances and speakers. By the time the original Rose Garden opened, it had taken three years.

The Moda Center Seating chart has over 14,000 permanent seats. They are arranged in two bowls. Another 1,540 permanent seats are located in the skyboxes. 4,200 portable seats are available depending upon the event and current seating chart. For basketball, the arena can fit almost 21,000 for standing room. The Moda Center also hosts a flurry of other special events, including monster trucks, circuses, and concerts. The Moda Center offers seventy skyboxes. Each skybox has twenty-two seats and V.I.P. amenities such as a wet bar, private bathroom, several television monitors, catering, and a sound system. Patrons can rent out a skybox year round, on a per-event contract, and more. In 2014, those who rented the skybox year round were granted access to all events that year. The annual skybox contract is certainly the most cost-effective and luxurious approach for enjoying Portland events. The Moda Center also offers 44-person Super Suites, an 88-person mega-suite and party suites.
