The stadium neighborhood was formed to bring attention to an area of Portland that too often falls between the cracks.
We are in the southeast corner of the Alphabet District, the northeast corner of Goose Hollow, and share a border with the Pearl and downtown. But our neighborhood has specific issues and concerns that don’t seem to be well addressed by our current neighborhood designations. We’d like to give our neighborhood a voice in the community dialogue and city politics.
Our neighborhood is a crossroads of sorts, and interesting things tend to happen at edges and intersections. More than anything, crossroads need to be safe enough for people to move freely. Our primary goal is to make our neighborhood a safe place to hang out and explore.
There’s lots to love about the Stadium neighborhood. Proximity to downtown. Affordable rentals and condos. Lots of wonderful restaurants, watering holes, and gathering places. Two cathedrals, one synagogue. A wonderful park with space for dogs to play. Thousands of people visit our neighborhood every week to enjoy a game or a concert.
Our group promotes safety for families and kids, organizes neighborhood cleanups, and advocates with city, county, and police officials to promote a safe and friendly neighborhood.
We’d like to see the kind of neighborhood where people know each other, talk to each other, and work together to make it a safe, inviting, vibrant place.
