THE CLUB
MERRITT PAULSON
OWNER & PRESIDENT
Merritt Paulson is the Owner and President of the Portland Timbers. On March 20, 2009, Major League Soccer announced that the Timbers would become the league’s 18th franchise, starting play in 2011. Named to Sports Business Journal’s exclusive “Forty Under 40” class of 2011, 2012 and 2013, Paulson’s diligent efforts – an arduous process that began in 2008 – to bring a second major league sports franchise to Portland and to transform Providence Park into one of the most intimate sports venues in the country came to life during the Timbers’ inaugural MLS season in 2011. Under Paulson’s leadership, the Timbers have sold out all of their regular-season home games (51 straight) since joining MLS, have developed award-winning marketing campaigns and community outreach programs and transformed the region’s sporting landscape by creating one of the most authentic and exciting in-game experiences in sports. Paulson was elected to the U.S. Soccer Board of Directors on March 2, 2014. The Board of Directors is the governing body of U.S. Soccer and adopts bylaws and policies for the federation. The board consists of elected members that represent all facets of soccer in the United States. Leading into their third MLS season in 2013, the Timbers achieved more than a 96 percent renewal rate on season tickets, marking the second straight year in which the club has had a 96 percent renewal rate or better. The club increased the number of season tickets available for a second straight season in 2013, expanding the cap to 15,250 to help meet the increased demand to attend matches at Providence Park. Additionally, the club has a Season Ticket Waiting List that numbered more than 6,500 fans, leading into the 2012 season. With a successful inaugural MLS campaign both on and off the field, Paulson was awarded the Slats Gill Award for Sportsperson of the Year for 2011 by the Oregon Sports Awards. With the honor, he became just the second non-coach to be so-honored in the history of the award, the first since Harry Glickman of the Portland Trail Blazers in 1970. Before assuming ownership of the team in 2007, Paulson was an executive at NBA Entertainment in New York, where he helped launch and develop NBA-TV and had responsibility for both marketing and business development efforts of NBA-TV and NBA LEAGUE PASS. He first moved to New York to join HBO on Demand and was part of the team that launched the first premium subscription video on-demand service. Paulson graduated from Hamilton College with a B.A. in English and earned his Masters of Business Administration from Harvard Business School. From a personal standpoint, Paulson, his wife and two daughters are thrilled to live in the Portland area and are passionate outdoor enthusiasts. Paulson is on the boards of the Oregon Chapter of The Nature Conservancy, the Oregon Sports Authority and Panthera.

Golub received the Doug Hamilton Executive of the Year award following the 2013 season in which the Timbers continued to see growth in key business areas, including ticket sales, corporate partnerships and local television ratings. He also received the honor in 2011 in recognition of the team’s remarkable and historic inaugural season in the league. Previously, Golub served as the Chief Operating Officer for the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers from 2006-08, transforming the team’s business and brand into one of the most successful in professional sports. With Nike (1996-99), he was a founding member and director of Nike Sports Entertainment, a global sports marketing division that established new strategic alliances and created and administered Nike-owned sporting events. Golub also brings considerable experience in a variety of major league sports. He served as the Executive Vice President for the NBA’s Memphis Grizzlies from 2000-05 and was the Senior Vice President of Business Operations and Chief Marketing Officer for the National Hockey League’s New York Rangers prior to joining the Trail Blazers in October 2006.

GAVIN WILKINSON
GENERAL MANAGER
Gavin Wilkinson, a long-time member of the Timbers organization and a former New Zealand international, serves as the club’s General Manager; he was appointed on January 18, 2010. He first joined the club as a player for the Timbers’ USL First Division side in 2001, before taking over as the head coach and general manager during the club’s final years in the second division from 2007-10. The Timbers finished the 2013 MLS regular season atop the Western Conference and qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time since joining the league in 2011. Portland held the third-best overall record in the league, just two points shy of MLS Supporters’ Shield-winners New York Red Bulls. The club finished among league leaders in goals scored and fewest goals allowed, while setting new club marks in points (57), goal differential (+21) and shutouts (15). In 2013, the Timbers assembled one of the longest unbeaten streaks in MLS history at 15 games and set an MLS single-season record with 11 home shutouts. As general manager, Wilkinson has formed the Timbers’ deeply integrated, vertical development system, which includes the Portland Timbers U-23s and Timbers Academy teams (U-18 and U-16). He was instrumental in establishing an innovative partnership with Oregon Youth Soccer Association, which encompasses the statewide Olympic Development Program and six regional training centers, as well as the adidas Timbers Alliance. Wilkinson also serves as the general manager for Portland Thorns FC, the 2013 National Women’s Soccer League champions. During his tenure as the club’s general manager and head coach from 2007-10, Wilkinson assembled a 50-29-39 record over four seasons in the USL First Division/USSF Division-2 Pro League and was a two-time USL First Division Coach of the Year (2007, 2009). He guided the club to three postseason berths, including its only semifinals appearances as a second-division club in 2007 and 2009. As head coach, Wilkinson oversaw Cascadia Cup (a fanbased derby between Portland, Seattle and Vancouver) titles in 2009, 2010 and again in 2012, and was a two-time recipient of the FieldTurf Coach of the Year for the USL First Division (2007, 2009). He led the Timbers to one of the best seasons in USL First Division history in 2009, including a record-setting, 24game unbeaten streak and winning the Commissioner’s Cup. The Timbers set a new single-season, league record with the impressive streak (14-0-10), surpassing the previous mark of 15 games set in 2005. The club’s recordsetting run also ranks among the longest in U.S. Soccer history. Finishing in first place at 16-4-10 (58pts), Portland was awarded the Commissioner’s Cup as the league’s regular-season champion and earned a berth into the USL First Division semifinals. On July 9, 2012, Wilkinson assumed the duties of interim head coach for the remainder of the 2012 MLS season. Wilkinson’s 13-year professional playing career included time with clubs in six different countries, including Portugal,Ireland, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia. A defender, he joined the reborn Timbers for their inaugural United Soccer Leagues season in 2001, playing in each of the club’s first six seasons and serving the dual role as a player/assistant coach from 2005-06. He finished his playing career ranked among the Timbers’ USL franchise career leaders in games (124) and minutes played (10,181). A New Zealand native, Wilkinson earned 38 caps with the New Zealand National Team and competed in the 1999 and 2003 FIFA Confederations Cups. He and his wife, Heather, have two children, Kienan and Brooke.

CALEB PORTER
HEAD COACH
Head coach Caleb Porter guided the Portland Timbers on a record-setting, turnaround season in 2013, his first season in MLS and as the club’s head coach. He was announced as the Timbers head coach on Aug. 29, 2012, and joined the club ahead of the 2013 MLS campaign. Porter was named the 2013 MLS Coach of the Year after leading Portland to a 14-5-15 (57pts) record, finishing the regular season in first place in the Western Conference and with the third-best record in the league – just two points shy of MLS Supporters’ Shield-winners New York Red Bulls. In 2013, the Timbers set new single-season club marks in points, wins, goals (54), goal differential (+21), shutouts (15) and fewest goals allowed (33). Porter was awarded the 2013 Slats Gill Sportsperson of the Year Award from the Oregon Sports Awards. Under Porter, the Timbers assembled one of the biggest turnaround seasons in MLS history in 2013. In comparison to 2012 totals, the Timbers assembled a 23-point improvement in points and an MLS-record 43-goal improvement in goal differential. Portland’s five losses during the 2013 regular season are tied for the fewest in MLS history in a 34-game season. In 2013, the Timbers ranked third in goals scored and conceded the second-fewest goals at 33, giving the club a league-best, plus-21 goal differential. The club also led the league with 15 shutouts, tied for third-most in a single season in MLS history. During the regular season, the Timbers assembled one of the longest unbeaten streaks in MLS history at 15 games. The Timbers also recorded a 15-game, home unbeaten streak, posting a league-best 11-1-5 home record at Providence Park. The club also set an MLS single-season record with 11 home shutouts. Among Porter’s achievements during the 2013 season, the club’s 57 points accrued are the most earned by a firstyear head coach in MLS since the league’s inaugural season in 1996. Porter’s winning percentage (.632) in 2013 ranked among the best in league history for first-year MLS head coaches, and the Timbers’ 15-game unbeaten streak is the longest by an MLS head coach in his first full season at the helm. Under Porter in 2013, Portland qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time since joining the league in 2011. By defeating rival Seattle Sounders FC in the Western Conference Semifinal, the Timbers became just the fifth club in MLS history to reach the conference championship in their MLS Cup Playoff debut, and the first since Real Salt Lake in 2008. Additionally, the Timbers made their deepest run in club history in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in 2013 under Porter’s guidance, reaching the semifinals of the tournament. Prior to joining the Timbers, Porter was one of the most successful coaches in NCAA history during his tenure as head coach at the University of Akron from 2006-12. He compiled a career mark of 123-18-17 at Akron and owned the highest winning percentage (.832) among all active Division I coaches. Porter garnered numerous honors while at Akron, including 2009 NSCAA National Coach of the Year. From Kalamazoo, Mich., Porter led the Zips to back-to-back NCAA College Cup appearances in 2009 and 2010, and the school’s first national title in any sport in 2010. Porter also served as the head coach of the U.S. U-23 Men’s National Team during 2012 CONCACAF Olympic qualifying and spent three years as an assistant coach on the U.S. U-18 National Team from 2009-11. As a player, Porter was the 27th overall pick by the San Jose Clash in the 1998 MLS College Draft. He spent time with San Jose and the Tampa Bay Mutiny before a knee injury ended his professional playing career in 2000. Porter also played for the U.S. National B Team from 1996-97, winning a bronze medal at the 1997 World University Games. He had a successful collegiate playing career at Indiana, where he was a three-year captain and a threetime All-Big Ten honoree. Porter led the Hoosiers four NCAA tournament appearances – twice advancing to the College Cup. Porter graduated from Indiana in 1998 with a degree in sports management. He and his wife, Andrea, have three children – two sons, Colin and Jake, and a daughter, Stella.

COACHING STAFF
SEAN McAULEY
ASSISTANT COACH
Sean McAuley enters his third season as an assistant coach. He joined the club midway through the 2012 season from English club Sheffield Wednesday FC, where he served as a head coach in the club’s academy. During his professional playing career, McAuley suited up for the second-division Timbers during the 2002 season. McAuley began his coaching career at Sheffield Wednesday in 2005 and spent six seasons as the club’s academy head coach. He also served as the caretaker manager for Sheffield Wednesday’s first team on two occasions during the 2006-07 and 2009-10 League Championship seasons, compiling a 3-2-2 record over seven matches. During his time with the Sheffield Wednesday academy, McAuley oversaw the development of several youth players who went on to sign with the first team. McAuley, a native of Sheffield, England, played professionally for 15 seasons as a defender from 1990-2005. He started his career with Manchester United and played a majority of his career for clubs in England, including St. Johnstone, Hartlepool United, Scunthorpe United, Rochdale and Halifax Town. McAuley played for the Timbers in 2002, appearing in 16 matches and logging two assists while helping the club make a postseason appearance in United Soccer Leagues.
MIKE TOSHACK
GOALKEEPER COACH
Mike Toshack marks his third season as the Timbers goalkeeper coach in 2014. He has served as a goalkeeper coach in MLS for the past seven seasons and won the MLS Cup with the Houston Dynamo in 2007. Prior to joining Portland, Toshack was a member of the coaching staffs in Houston (200708) and Toronto FC (2009-11). Under his guidance, Toshack’s goalkeepers have regularly ranked among MLS’s top performers each season. In 2013, goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts received the MLS Goalkeeper of the Year and was named to the MLS Best XI. In Houston, former goalkeeper Pat Onstad recorded the league’s best goals-against average in 2007. During Toshack’s time at Toronto FC, goalkeeper Stefan Frei was a finalist for the 2009 MLS Rookie of the Year and finished among leaders in saves in 2010 and 2011. Before working in MLS, the Prescott, Ontario, native was the director of goalkeeping for the Vancouver Whitecaps, then of the USL First Division, from 2005-06. He worked with goalkeepers at all levels of the club and helped coach the first team to the USL-1 title in 2006. Additionally, Toshack served as an assistant coach with the Montreal Impact from 2002-03. Toshack also served as the goalkeeper coach with the Canada U-20 National Team from 1998-2001. That position took him around the world, including Argentina, where the 2001 FIFA U-20 World Youth Championships took place.

CAMERON KNOWLES
ASSISTANT COACH
Cameron Knowles returns for a third season as an assistant coach for the Timbers. A former defender for the second-division Timbers from 2007-10, Knowles joined the coaching ranks in 2012 after a seven-year professional playing career. Originally drafted by Real Salt Lake in the 2005 MLS Supplemental Draft, Knowles played two seasons in MLS before joining the Timbers. In Portland, Knowles was a three-time USL First Division all-league selection and helped the Timbers claim the Commissioner’s Cup in 2009 as the league’s regular-season champion. In total, he played in 77 games for the Timbers, which ranks among the club’s second-division career leaders, and was named a finalist for the league’s Defender of the Year award in 2007. Following the 2008 campaign, he was voted by fans as the Supporter’s Player of the Year. From Auckland, New Zealand, Knowles anchored Portland’s backline in 2007, which allowed the fewest goals (18) in a single season during the Timbers 10 seasons as a second-division side. He also played a key role in the Timbers’ USL First Division record-setting 24-game unbeaten streak in 2009.

SEASON RECAP Final Record: 14-5-15, 57 points (First, Western Conference) With a revamped roster and a new head coach in Caleb Porter, the Timbers compiled an impressive 2013 campaign as the club assembled one of the biggest turnaround seasons in MLS history. In comparison to 2012 totals, the Timbers
registered a 23-point improvement in points and an MLS-record 43-goal improvement in goal differential while finishing the regular season in first place in the Western Conference and qualifying for the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time the team’s MLS history. Portland’s five losses during the 2013 regular season are tied for the fewest in MLS history in a 34-game season. Individually, the Timbers collected several end-of-season awards as Porter earned MLS Coach of the Year honors, goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts was named AT&T Goalkeeper of the Year, midfielder Diego Valeri was named MLS Newcomer of the Year and forward Darlington Nagbe was given the XBox Individual Fair Play award. Ricketts, Valeri and midfielder Will Johnson all earned MLS Best XI selections. In 2013, the Timbers ranked third in goals scored and conceded the second-fewest goals at 33, giving the club a league-best, plus-21 goal differential. The club also led the league with 15 shutouts, tied for third-most in a single season in MLS history. During the regular season, the Timbers assembled one of the longest unbeaten streaks in MLS history at 15 games. The Timbers also recorded a 15-game, home unbeaten streak, posting a league-best 111-5 home record at Providence Park. The club also set an MLS single-season record with 11 home shutouts. Portland bested Northwest rivals Seattle in the Western Conference Semifinals, earning back-to-back wins in the two-game, aggregate goals series. In the Western Conference Championship, the Timbers fell to Real Salt Lake 5-2 on aggregate. Additionally, the Timbers made their deepest run in club history in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in 2013 under Porter’s guidance, reaching the semifinals of the tournament. Portland also qualified for an international tournament for the first time across all eras as the club gained a berth in the 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League tournament by virtue of finishing as the No. 1 team in the conference opposite the Supporters’ Shield winners (New York).

2012 SEASON Final Record: 8-16-10, 34 points (Eighth, Western Conference) Riding high expectations in the club’s second season in Major League Soccer following several notable offseason acquisitions, the campaign kicked off on the right note in a 3-1 opening-night win against Philadelphia on national television and the team followed that up with a draw on the road against FC Dallas. The first two weeks of the season would turn out to be a bright spot in an otherwise tumultuous year. Struggling to find consistency in form, the team couldn’t capitalize on a good start, losing four straight and capturing just four points in the standings by the sixth week of the season. A brief four-game unbeaten streak during the month of May helped steady the club, but a loss in the U.S. Open Cup coupled with the team’s continued lack of results on the road precipitated a change in management as head coach John Spencer was relieved of his duties on July 9. General Manager Gavin Wilkinson assumed a bench role as interim head coach. Changes to the roster continued to develop during the season as the club swapped goalkeepers with Montreal, sending Troy Perkins to the Impact in exchange for Donovan Ricketts on Aug. 7. The Timbers also traded defender Mike Chabala to D.C. United in August. With qualification to the postseason out of the equation, the Timbers announced the hiring of University of Akron head coach Caleb Porter as the team’s new coach on Aug. 29. Porter, however, would see out his commitment to Akron and join the Timbers during the offseason. As the season began on a positive note, so too would it end with one as Portland earned a 1-0 win on the road against Vancouver Whitecaps FC in the penultimate game of the season, hoisting the Cascadia Cup trophy – the club’s first piece of silverware since joining MLS. Scottish striker Kris Boyd led the team with seven goals during the season. Darlington Nagbe, who played a team-high 2,777 minutes, followed with six goals and Bright Dike netted five in just 12 appearances. Midfielder Eric Alexander registered a team-high six assists during the season. Once again, the Timbers sold out all 17 home matches – even with Providence Park expanding capacity to 20,438 – pushing the club’s streak of home sellouts to 34 games.

2011 SEASON IN REVIEW
Front Row: James Marcelin, Mike Chabala, Rodrigo Lopez, Diego Chara, Kalif Alhassan, Jorge Perlaza, Eddie Johnson, Peter Lowry, Bright Dike, Lovel Palmer Second Row: General Manager Gavin Wilkinson, Head Coach John Spencer, President Merritt Paulson, Chris Taylor, Sal Zizzo, Brian Umony, Spencer Thompson, Eric Alexander, Jack Jewsbury, Rodney Wallace, Darlington Nagbe, Freddie Braun, Assistant Coach Amos Magee, U-23s Head Coach Jim Rilatt, Assistant Coach Trevor James, Goalkeeper Coach Adam Smith Third Row: Steve Purdy, Kenny Cooper, Eric Brunner, Jake Gleeson, Troy Perkins, Adin Brown, David Horst, Kevin Goldthwaite, Futty Danso
2011 SEASON Final Record: 11-14-9, 42 points (Sixth, Western Conference) The Timbers came tantalizingly close to reaching the MLS Cup Playoffs in the club’s first year as an MLS team, finishing just short of the final spot in the Western Conference in the closing weeks of the season. Although the campaign started with a three-match road swing that featured two losses and a draw, the team thrilled home fans at the newly renovated Providence Park winning its first five home games and climbing into fourth place in the conference after the opening 10 games of the inaugural season. The home winning streak was snapped in a hard-to-swallow, 3-2 loss against D.C. United that precipitated a run of poor results, including losses in six of the next seven games. The club was able to shake off the slump, capturing its first road win on July 16 as midfielder Jack Jewsbury, who finished the season as leading scorer with 22 points (7 goals, 8 assists), converted a penalty kick to sink the Chicago Fire 1-0 at Toyota Park. The team continued to earn a win or draw in three of the next four matches – including a resounding 3-0 defeat of the eventual MLS Cup champion LA Galaxy at Providence Park. Portland made a late push for a berth to the MLS Cup Playoffs with a five-game unbeaten streak from Aug. 20 to Sept. 21, which helped keep the club in the thick of the postseason hunt. However, unable to gain more than five points from the final five matches of the season, the Timbers were edged out of the playoff picture. Forward Kenny Cooper picked up the offense late in the year, scoring four goals in the last seven matches of the season to close out the campaign with a team-high eight goals. Notably during the season, goalkeeper Troy Perkins set a career high with nine shutouts and set a club record streak at 342 minutes without allowing a goal in league play and rookie Darlington Nagbe won the league’s Goal of the Year award for his juggle and volley against Sporting Kansas City on July 2 – a goal which has garnered more than 2 million views on YouTube. While the results on the field were up and down, the support in the stands was overwhelming as the club sold out each of its 17 home matches and welcomed large crowds for club friendlies against Ajax (Netherlands), Club América (Mexico), Independiente (Argentina) and West Bromwich Albion (England).

CASCADIA CUP The Cascadia Cup is a supporters-based derby between the three Northwest MLS clubs - Portland Timbers, Seattle Sounders FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC. The Cascadia Cup was started in 2004 when all three clubs were members of the USL First Division (second division). The Cascadia Cup is awarded to the club with the best head-to-head record during the MLS regular-season among the three clubs, with various tiebreaker rules in place if needed. For a two-year span, from 2009-10, the Cascadia Cup was contested just between Portland and Vancouver as Seattle had moved up to MLS in 2009. The derby included all three clubs once again in 2011, when both Portland and Vancouver joined Seattle in MLS. The supporters - Portland’s Timbers Army, Seattle’s Emerald City Supporters and Vancouver’s Southsiders - are the holders of the cup and pass it on to the winning side’s supporters each season. The rivalry between Portland, Seattle and Vancouver dates back to the 1970s and original North American Soccer League (NASL).

The Timbers built a 2-0 lead, but EPL side West Bromwich Albion was able to answer with three straight goals to secure a 3-2 win before a sold out Providence Park. Eddie Johnson and Peter Lowry notched goals for the Timbers within the opening 30 minutes. The Baggies, however, scored twice in a three-minute span in the second half and tallied the game-winner in second-half stoppage time.
First-half goals from midfielders Sal Zizzo and Brian Umony guided the Portland Timbers to a 2-0 win over Argentina’s Club Atlético Independiente before a sold-out crowd at Providence Park. Scoring just three minutes apart in the 36th and 39th minutes, Zizzo and Umony staked the Timbers to a 2-0 lead heading into halftime. Goalkeepers Adin Brown and Jake Gleeson combined for three saves in the shutout as Portland’s defense held Independiente, which recently competed in the 2011 Copa Libertadores, to just three attempts on goal.

A game-winning goal by forward Kris Boyd in his club debut helped the Timbers close out their inaugural Portland Preseason Tournament with a 1-0 win over top-flight Swedish club AIK at Providence Park. Boyd gave the home side the lead in the seventh minute by heading in a cross from forward Jorge Perlaza. Goalkeeper Troy Perkins finished with four saves as Portland’s defense preserved the shut-out victory.
A first-half goal by striker Aritz Aduriz was the difference as Spanish La Liga side Valencia CF defeated the Timbers 1-0 at Providence Park. Opening their post-season U.S. Tour in Portland, Valencia claimed the lead four minutes from halftime on a goal by one of the club’s leading scorers from the 2011-12 season in Aritz Aduriz. The Timbers utilized 22 players in the exhibition and created several quality chances, holding a 15-10 advantage in shots against one of La Liga’s top clubs.

Timbers 2 vs. Aston Villa 2
Timbers 1 vs. AIK 1
The Timbers rallied back on two occasions in the second half on goals by forward Sebastián Rincón and midfielder Rodney Wallace to pull level with Aston Villa FC, but the English Premier League side would prevail in a penaltykick shootout, 5-4, to claim the win before a sellout crowd at Providence Park. Rincón pulled the Timbers even at 1-1 with the initial equalizer off a corner kick in the 76th minute. Aston Villa re-claimed the lead at 2-1 in the 80th minute, but less than a minute later, the Timbers answered once again on a goal by Wallace to knot the score at 2-2 and push match to penalties. The two clubs matched goal-for-goal in the penalty-kick shoot out until Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan made a stop on Portland’s fifth attempt by Bright Dike. Aston Villa midfielder Samir Carruthers provided the decisive goal for the EPL side in the shootout.
The Timbers closed their 2013 preseason schedule with a 1-1 draw against Swedish first-division club AIK before in the final match of the Portland Preseason Tournament at Providence Park. The Timbers put AIK under pressure the entire match, taking 22 shots and forcing AIK goalkeeper Ivan Turina to make 11 saves. But it was AIK who struck first, staking a 1-0 lead in the 28th minute on a goal by forward Henok Goitom. Portland’s pressure eventually paid off 15 minutes from time when defender Michael Harrington was able to deliver the equalizer. He started the play with a pass to forward Darlington Nagbe deep in the box on the left side, and Nagbe returned a pass to Harrington cutting into the penalty area. Harrington then placed a sharply hit ball under Turina’s diving effort and inside the right post. His strike was the only goal conceded by AIK during its three matches in Portland.

Timbers 1 vs. Norwich City FC 0
The Timbers received a penalty-kick goal from defender Futty Danso and defeated top-flight Mexican club Monarcas Morelia 1-0 in a friendly to claim the inaugural Copa Verde before a spirited crowd at Providence Park. Portland scored the game’s lone goal in the 40th minute. A Monarcas defender was called for a handball just inside the penalty area while trying to defend a shot by Timbers forward Jose Valencia, and referee Ramon Hernandez awarded Portland a penalty kick. Danso converted the attempt, putting a shot off the underside of the cross bar as Monarcas goalkeeper Federico Vilar dove to his right. The Timbers were able to get several development players from their U-23s and Academy sides valuable minutes as subs in the second half against Monarcas, including Timbers Academy players Jesse Garcia, Foster Langsdorf and Anthony Machionne. Timbers U-23s defender Anthony Hobbs started the second half and played 45 minutes.
The Timbers received a second-half goal from forward Jose Valencia to defeat English Premier League side Norwich City FC, 1-0, in an international friendly at Providence Park. After a scoreless first half, the Timbers cracked the deadlock less than 10 minutes into the second half. A giveaway by Norwich City led to a counter for the Timbers and midfielder Kalif Alhassan played the ball to Valencia on an open run down the left side. Valencia, who struck the right post earlier in the half, one-timed a rolling shot that beat Norwich City goalkeeper Carlo Nash inside the far post. Portland goalkeepers Milos Kocic and Jake Gleeson each played a half and combined for five saves to record the shutout. The two clubs combined for 23 shots, 11 of which were put on frame.

PROVIDENCE PARK
PROVIDENCE PARK RENOVATION
Already steeped in sports and entertainment history, Providence Park underwent a $40 million renovation for Major League Soccer, making it the most intimate, exciting and authentic soccer facility in the United States. The renovation elevated the facility to MLS standards and enhanced the fan experience of attending an event by increasing the functionality of the venue and introducing new amenities. Providence Park and Turner Construction, who oversaw the stadium’s recent renovation project, were recognized by EngineeringNews Record and named to the organization’s list of the Best of the Best Projects for 2011. Providence Park earned the award for Best Sports/Entertainment project, recognized for its excellence in design and construction. Some of the new features include the east side KeyBank Club, an expanded adidas Timbers Team Store, new concession stands and more group and family viewing decks. Additionally, the renovation helped the park’s ability to be a year-round community center and play host to more than 250 events annually, including Portland State football and an array of youth sports and communitybased events.
RENOVATION PROJECT DETAILS FIELD The playing surface shifted to the West and the North to make for a more intimate and closer-to-the-action feel. It also affords more space on the East and South sides of the stadium to create new seating areas. A brand new FieldTurf Revolution playing surface was installed in advance of the 2014 season. NEW SEATING AREAS A new seating area along the east side of the stadium was installed, running parallel to the east sideline and 18th Avenue. The top of the new stands begins at the widened public concourse at street level and extends down to the field. These new seats have industry-leading leg room and width, with a majority of the new seats covered by a new roof. More than 1,100 of the new seats are premium club seats, with the highest level of fan amenities, including a separate entrance and access to the new KeyBank Club restaurant. VIEWS The renovation design achieves the imperative of preserving substantial views into the stadium from 18th Avenue and to the city from within Providence Park. WIDMER SOUTHERN FRONT Contiguous to the new east side seating areas is the Widmer Southern Front, a bar area and seating/staging platform located behind the south goal. The area features four rows of fixed seating behind the goal, in addition to an expansive, 9,250-square-foot
216
PROVIDENCE PARK RENOVATION area that serves as a unique new gathering place for fans, offering a variety of food and Widmer Brothers beverage options and a distinctive vantage point. During events, the Southern Front serves as a group picnic area and/or performance area. The area can accommodate concert staging, which increases Providence Park’s ability to efficiently and cost-effectively host concerts. EAST-SIDE AMENITIES AND PUBLIC AREAS In conjunction with the construction of the new eastside seating area, several other new public areas were built, including: • KeyBank Plaza - At the 18th Avenue and Morrison Street corner of Providence Park is the extended KeyBank Plaza. The existing open plaza was extended in to the stadium towards the field, where fans can catch a glimpse of the renovated stadium. During non-event times, the KeyBank Plaza is open to the public, with views of the field. • adidas Timbers Team Store - A 1,000 square-foot team store now sits adjacent to the newly extended public plaza at 18th Avenue and SW Morrison. The store is open to the public during non-event hours. • Concession Stands/Restrooms - New concession stands and restrooms were added on the east side concourse to service the new seating areas. • KeyBank Club - As part of the new east side seating area, the new KeyBank Club will service the 1,100-plus midfield club seats. This 5,200 square-foot club has views to the field, private entrances and becomes the first sit-down restaurant in the 85-year history of the stadium. The club space is also available for rental for private functions during non-event times. • Community Room - The new 2,200 square-foot Community Room was built adjacent to the KeyBank Club. This multi-purpose space can be used extensively for a variety of community and corporate events both during non-event hours and during events. • Budweiser Balcony, Group and Family Decks - Integrated into the design of the new east-side seating areas are three new openviewing decks, including the Budweiser Balcony overlooking the northeast corner of the field. These areas provide excellent views to the field for groups and can also accommodate temporary bleacher seating to increase the capacity for larger events. ACCESS ROAD The access road connecting 18th Avenue to the playing field on the south end of Providence Park was widened and improved as part of the renovation, increasing the stadium’s ability to host concerts and other non-sporting events by greatly increasing the speed and cost efficiency of event load-in and load-out. PROVIDENCE SPORTS CARE CENTER Integrated into the new east-side seating area is the new Providence Sports Care Center. Completely privately funded, this 12,000sq. ft. facility serves the neighborhood and provides daily activity on a year-round basis to the east side of the stadium. LARGE FORMAT VIDEO/BROADCAST FACILITIES To meet MLS requirements and industry standards, new video and broadcast facilities were included in the renovation. These include new camera positions and new permanent broadcast cabling. To enhance the fan experience, a new, 37-by-20-foot HD video scoreboard was installed at the south end of the stadium, new field-side LED boards were added to various areas of the seating bowl, and new television monitors were placed in the concourse to serve the new seating areas. PRESS BOX The existing press box was brought up to league requirements. New furniture, fixtures and equipment (“FF&E”), improved broadcast booths and press working areas, introduction of air conditioning/heat, and windows that open were all installed, bringing the press area up to industry standards. TEAM AREAS Both the Timbers locker room and training areas, and the visiting areas, were updated and improved to meet league requirements. PROJECT TIMELINE Foundation work for the new east- and south-side seating structures and other preparatory work commenced in February 2010. Construction work ceased during the Timbers’ 2010 season and began again in September of 2010. All work was completed in time for the Timbers’ home opener on April 14, 2011.

PROVIDENCE PARK Originally built on top of a creekbed for just $500,000 in 1926, Providence Park has played host to an array of historical events during its time. Those events, which date back before the construction of the stadium to the original Multnomah Field, are not just limited to the sporting landscape, but include notable political and entertainment occurrences as well. Over the years, the names and games have changed, from football to baseball to soccer (and even ski jumping and dog racing). But some parts have stayed the same. Certain pieces of the stadium have been in place since the beginning; the upper seating bowl and wood benches still remain from the original construction of the facility over 85 years ago. Now, after undergoing the largest-scale seating addition in its storied history, Providence Park is ready for a new, exciting chapter to be written on its illustrious timeline. THROUGH THE YEARS 1893 The two-year-old Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, now known as the MAC, leased this plot of pasture land in an area known as Tanner Creek Gulch and called it Multnomah Field. From the start, it was home to all popular outdoor athletic events of the day.

adidas TIMBERS TRAINING CENTER
On April 19, 2012, the Portland Timbers unveiled the new adidas Timbers Training Center, a state-of-the-art training facility, built in Beaverton, Ore., as part of a 10-year partnership with Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District. The $6 million training center features a natural-grass field and is the primary on-field training ground of the Major League Soccer club. Some of the features of the adidas Timbers Training Center include a 7,000-square-foot indoor facility, with locker rooms for the Timbers and the club’s development teams, fully-equipped training and fitness areas, offices and a spacious lounge/common area for the players. Widely regarded as one of the best fields in the state, the grass field features a combination of 75 percent perennial ryegrass and 25 percent Kentucky bluegrass. It is perfectly suited for cooler climates and provides uniform cover and greater stability, footing and durability. The adidas Timbers Training Center is located approximately 10 minutes from Providence Park and is also the training home to the Timbers development teams - the Timbers U-23 and the Timbers U-18 and U-16 Academy teams. As part of the public-private partnership with THPRD, the Timbers make an annual donation to the Tualatin Hills Park Foundation and conduct a series of annual youth soccer camps and coaches clinics at the adidas Timbers Training Center. The training center also includes a synthetic, FieldTurf field designated for public use.
TRAINING CENTER QUICK FACTS • The grass field was planted in January 2012 from oneyear-old sod. • The sod was planted in a vertically draining, sand-based root zone that includes small amounts of peat and calcined clay to stabilize moisture content and to hold nutrients. • The grass field was built using over 4,600 tons of specialty sand blend (383 truckloads) and will drain up to 12 inches of precipitation an hour. • The overall project took 5,240 man hours to complete.

TIMBER JOEY Embedded in long-standing tradition, the Timbers feature a unique mascot. Free of costume, big feet or cartoon-like gimmicks, the Timbers’ mascot is a true outdoorsman. With his chainsaw in tow, Joey Webber, known by fans as “Timber Joey,” helps create a one-of-kind atmosphere at JELD-WEN Field. The tradition of having an authentic lumberman as the club’s mascot began in the 1970s when the Timbers competed in the North American Soccer League. Leading the way was Timber Jim (Jim Serrill), who created and continued several fan-favorite traditions during his 12 seasons as the club’s mascot and icon (1978-82; 2001-07). Timber Jim captured the hearts of fans, hanging from rafters and light poles with his revved up chainsaw in hand. Following Serrill’s retirement in January 2008, Webber has since carried on the club’s match-day traditions and possesses an inspirational charisma, which can bring the crowd to its feet with a quick rev of the chainsaw. A beloved Timbers match-day tradition is the sawing of a slab off a log following every Timbers goal and presenting the slice to the goal-scorer in a post-match ritual. Webber was born and raised in the timber town of Philomath, Ore., where he attended the School of Forestry as a youth. He competed in state forestry and timber competitions and ranked in several events, including pole climbing, jack double bucking, axe throwing and log rolling. Growing up, Webber was also a competitive rugby player and was a member of the U.S. National Rugby Team’s U-19 pool for two years. He also competed as a bare-back bronco rider in the Northwest Professional Rodeo Association and the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association.

When not in his trademark silver hard hat or Timbers suspenders, he operates his own construction company that specializes in concrete finishing and also serves as the security manager at a local restaurant. An official induction ceremony for Webber, along with Serrill, took place during halftime of a Timbers exhibition match against Italy’s Juventus Primavera on June 14, 2008.
A long-standing club tradition, Timber Joey uses his chainsaw to slice off a log slab after each goal is scored and then presents the slab to the goal-scoring player after the match in a special post-match ceremony.

HISTORY OF THE PORTLAND TIMBERS PORTLAND TIMBERS - NORTH AMERICAN SOCCER LEAGUE (1975-82)
The world’s game of soccer formally took ground in the city of Portland in the 1970s with the inception of a professional franchise in the Portland Timbers. The Timbers’ history begins in the spring of 1975, as an expansion club in the original North America Soccer League (NASL). The club’s inaugural season in the NASL featured home crowds in excess of 20,000 fans and a surprising run that led the Timbers to Soccer Bowl ’75, playing for the NASL title. The successes of that first season inspired a highly supportive and passionate fan base which has inspired a love for the game for generations of soccer fans, helping Portland earn the moniker “Soccer City,USA.” As a member of the NASL, the Timbers entertained fans against some of the era’s greatest players, including Pelé and Franz Beckenbauer. In fact, Pelé officially played his last professional soccer match in Portland at Civic Stadium at the end of the 1977 season. In just its third season as the home venue for Soccer City,USA, Civic Stadium played host to Soccer Bowl ’77 between Pelé’s New York Cosmos and the Seattle Sounders on Aug. 28, 1977. At the time, the 35,548 on hand for the title match was the largest crowd to attend a Soccer Bowl. The days of the NASL marked not only the beginning of the Timbers, but fostered what has become an iconic figure in the club’s history. Jim Serrill, an actual lumberman by trade, volunteered to become the team’s mascot in 1978. As “Timber Jim,” he would establish himself in Portland’s soccer lore with his charismatic charm and high-flying stunts, in which he dangled from the stadium rafters and climbed towering poles with his revved chainsaw in hand. Through the end of the Timbers’ NASL tenure, he originated many fan-favorite traditions, including the sawing of a log slab after each goal scored by the Timbers. Like many other NASL clubs at the time, the Timbers were stocked with European players. Midfielder John Bain, from Scotland, was the NASL Timbers’ all-time leading scorer with 45 goals and 55 assists during his five seasons Mick Hoban (above) and Timber Jim (below) with the club. Several of the Timbers’ standouts from this era had ties to the were fundamental to the Timbers’ success. United Kingdom, including Manchester United product Willie Anderson, former Manchester City midfielder Jimmy Conway and head coach Vic Crowe, who managed England’s Aston Villa and the Wales National Team prior to his time in Portland. The original Timbers produced just two more playoff seasons (1978, 1981) following their appearance in the ’75 Soccer Bowl. But, while a part of the NASL, Portland became home for several beloved Timbers players: Clive Charles, Mick Hoban, Bernie Fagan, Conway and Bain, who, following their playing careers, would help grow and develop the game of soccer in Oregon, first-hand. The Timbers’ last season in the NASL was in 1982, and just two years later, the league halted operations.

HISTORY OF THE PORTLAND TIMBERS F.C. PORTLAND/PORTLAND TIMBERS (1985-90)
In the absence of the NASL, a number of smaller, more regional leagues filled the void for soccer fans across the United States. And in Portland, it was no different. Unlike its NASL predecessors stocked with European imports, F.C. Portland first took the field in 1985 with a roster comprised primarily of local talent as one of four charter members of the Western Soccer Alliance Challenge Series. The 1985 season featured a seven-game season against the San Jose Earthquakes, F.C. Seattle and Victoria Riptides. While F.C. Portland struggled on the field, the team’s ability to showcase local players was one of its main successes during its six years of existence. F.C. Portland consistently featured some of the top performers, starting with Northwest native Brent Goulet. After leading the Western Soccer Alliance in scoring the season prior, Goulet was crowned the six-team league’s MVP in 1987 while attending Portland-based Warner Pacific College. The two-time all-league forward would go on to a professional career in Europe and would play for the U.S. National Team. He was the first of many local players for whom F.C. Portland would help launch playing careers. Under new ownership of local businessman Art Dixon, F.C. Portland was renamed the Portland Timbers prior to the 1989 Western Soccer League season. With former NASL Timbers player John Bain at the helm as the team’s player/manager, the Timbers posted an 11-5 record and reached the conference semifinals. The Timbers would reap the benefit of the rise of the college soccer program at the University of Portland, and featured two UP standouts that 1989 season – goalkeeper Kasey Keller and forward Scott Benedetti. Keller, who would eventually star with the U.S. National Team, captured the Western Soccer League’s MVP and Goalkeeper of the Year awards, while Benedetti, who won the league’s scoring title in 1988, was named to the WSL All-League First Team. Despite repeat all-league efforts from Bain and Gresham, Ore., native Benedetti in 1990, the Timbers finished their final WSL season with a record of 10-10. Following the season, the WSL merged with the American Soccer League, and as a result of the new enterprise, over half of its teams would close their doors prior to the 1991 campaign, including the Timbers.

HISTORY OF THE LOG SLAB TRADITION “No, you can’t bring chainsaws in to the stands. Are you crazy?” That’s what former Timbers general manager Keith Williams said to Jim Serrill back in the late 1970s. At the time, little did Williams know that Serrill would become the team’s long-time icon as “Timber Jim” and that his saw would establish a unique and beloved Timbers tradition – the cutting of the “log slab.” After each goal scored by the Timbers at home, a slice is cut from the victory log behind the north goal and celebrated in a cloud of sawdust and cheered by the roar of a chainsaw and thousands of voices. The log slab is then paraded through the stands, and ultimately, presented to its rightful owner – the goal scorer – in a post-game ceremony. This time-honored tradition has helped make Timbers matches at JELD-WEN Field a one-of-a-kind soccer experience in the United States. Over the years, the players have changed, the uniforms have changed, and even the mascot has changed, but the tradition of cutting the log slab after each Timbers goal lives on, and the spirit of the “log slab” will continue to inspire Timbers fans for years to come.

HISTORY OF THE PORTLAND TIMBERS PORTLAND TIMBERS - UNITED SOCCER LEAGUES (2001-10)
Almost 20 years after the final NASL season, a new era of Timbers soccer was born in 2001. As a member of United Soccer Leagues, the Timbers re-captured the hearts of Soccer City USA while competing in U.S. soccer’s second division. With the USL Timbers, full-fledged professional soccer returned to the same ground where it started in the Rose City – a renovated Civic Stadium building named PGE Park. With the re-emergence of the Timbers, Timber Jim made his return pitch-side. And along with Serrill came the same game-day events, stunts and traditions that fans loved from the NASL era, including the sawing of the log slab. Serrill would continue as the team’s icon for its first seven years in USL. Reaching the playoffs in each of their first two seasons in USL’s A-League, the Timbers quickly established themselves among the league’s elite clubs. In 10 seasons as a USL franchise, the Timbers produced eight winning seasons and made seven postseason appearances. It was an attention-grabbing season in 2004, in which the Timbers won the A-League regular-season championship and dominated league honors, paving the way for the club’s success on the field and its rise in popularity. A club rooted in history and tradition, the Timbers paid tribute to the late Clive Charles at a home game on Aug. 29, 2003. The legendary defender and Portland soccer pioneer had his No. 3 retired during a halftime ceremony that featured friends, teammates and colleagues of the Timbers great, who starred for the club’s NASL franchise from 1978-81. Coincidently, the Timbers defeated the El Paso Patriots that same night, 3-0. After 12 total seasons (1978-82; 2001-07) as the team mascot and icon, Timber Jim announced his retirement in early 2008. Serrill officially passed the chainsaw off to Joey Webber in an official induction ceremony during halftime of an exhibition game between General Manager Gavin Wilkinson the Timbers and Juventus Primavera on June 14, 2008. Webber has since carried on the (above) ranked among the USL Timclub’s match-day traditions and possesses an inspirational charisma, which can bring the bers career leaders in games. crowd to its feet with a quick rev of his chainsaw. In 2009, the Timbers turned in one of the best seasons in the history of the USL First Division (previously called the A-League). On their way to winning the USL First Division Commissioner’s Cup as the regular-season champion that season, the Timbers assembled a record-setting, 24-game unbeaten streak (14-0-10). The Timbers’ unbeaten streak of 2009 shattered the league’s previous mark of 15 games set in 2005. The club’s run also ranks among the longest unbeaten streaks in professional U.S. soccer history. With a passionate and loyal supporters group in the Timbers Army, the Timbers’ attendance at PGE Park more than doubled from 2004 to their final second-division season in 2010. With a Major League Soccer expansion franchise on the horizon, the Timbers drew 155,006 total regular-season fans in 2010, which was more than in any other season in the USL era. The Timbers welcomed their one millionth fan in their 10-year span as a second-division club during their 2010 regular-season home finale on Sept. 2, 2010 – a celebratory night and a fitting end to a memorable era for many in Soccer City USA.

ABOUT PORTLAND
Known as “The City of Roses,” among other nicknames, Portland is the largest city in Oregon and the secondlargest in the Pacific Northwest. Located just 70 miles from the Pacific Ocean, Portland sits at the convergence of the Willamette (pronounced will-LAM-et) and Columbia Rivers. About 50 miles to the east sits the permanently snowcapped Mt. Hood, which is the state’s highest peak and part of the Cascade mountain range. Because of its proximity to both the coast and the mountain, Portland is a popular destination for those seeking outdoor thrills. Whether it’s backpacking, biking or just walking through the city’s many parks, the mild summer months provide the perfect opportunity for Portland’s 529,000 residents to get out and enjoy the sunshine. A popular stop among Portland’s visitors is its pedestrian-friendly downtown. Resembling some of Europe’s finest cities, downtown Portland boasts blocks just half the size of most American city blocks. Coupled with plenty of independent shops and food carts, there is no wonder why Portland is often referred to as the United States’ most European city. Portland boasts a plethora of microbreweries and because of that, some have dubbed it the “Microbrew Capital of the World.” With more than 30 independently run breweries within city limits, including the renowned Widmer Brothers Brewery (the home of America’s Original Hefeweizen), the next pint is rarely more than a block away. DID YOU KNOW? • The Portland Saturday Market is the largest continuously operating open-air crafts market in the United States. • Powell’s City of Books, occupying an entire city block, is the world’s largest independent bookstore. • The name of the city was decided via a coin flip between a settler from Boston and one from Portland, Maine. • The Port of Portland is the largest wheat export port in the United States. • Portland’s Junior Rose Festival Parade is the largest children’s parade in America. • Portlandia is the second-largest hammered-copper statue in the world (the Statue of Liberty is the first). • Portland is known as the epicenter of America’s craft-brewing renaissance. • Portland is home to both the world’s smallest dedicated park, Mill Ends Park (24 inches in size), and the nation’s largest forested city wilderness (5,000-acre Forest Park). • There are 37,000 acres of parks in the Portland metro area. • Portland’s nicknames include “Rose City,” “City of Bridges” and “River City.” • The city of Portland was officially incorporated on February 8, 1851. • There is no sales tax in Oregon.
