On March 20, 2009, Major League Soccer (MLS) announced that the Timbers would become the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 18th franchise, starting play in 2011. Before assuming ownership of the team in 2007, he was the Senior Director of Marketing and Business Development at NBA Entertainment in New York. After completing his MBA at Harvard, Paulson was part of a joint venture in Palo Alto, Calif., that focused on building high-speed wireless networks.

In that role, he helped launch and develop NBA-TV and had responsibility for both marketing and business development efforts of NBA-TV and NBA LEAGUE PASS. One of Paulsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top priorities upon taking over the club was to establish a team community fund to support local youth-focused nonprofit organizations. Now known as the Portland Timbers Community Fund (PTCF), the fund has contributed over $200,000 locally over the past two years. In 2010, the community fund was recognized by the Portland Business Journal for the second straight year with the Corporate Philanthropy Award for Small Company after distributing more than $100,000 to deserving nonprofits in and around Portland. From a personal standpoint, Paulson, his wife and his daughter are thrilled to live in the Portland area and are passionate outdoor enthusiasts.

GAVIN WILKINSON

GENERAL MGR./TECHNICAL DIR. Gavin Wilkinson, a long-time member of the Timbers organization and a former New Zealand international, serves as the club’s General Manager/Technical Director; 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. As head coach, 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. Wilkinson is also a two-time recipient of the FieldTurf Coach of the Year for the USL First Division (2007, 2009). A defender during his playing career, Wilkinson oversaw 39 shutouts in 118 regular-season matches. He led the Timbers to one of the best seasons in USL First Division history in 2009, including a record-setting, 24-game unbeaten streak and winning the Commissioner’s Cup. The Timbers set a new single-season, league record with a 24-game unbeaten streak (14-0-10), surpassing the previous mark of 15 games set in 2005. The club’s record-setting streak 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. Wilkinson’s 13-year professional playing career included time with clubs in six different countries, including Portugal, Ireland, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia. He joined the re-born Timbers for their inaugural USL First Division 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 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. As general manager, Wilkinson started the Timbers’ development team, called the Portland Timbers U-23s, in the fall of 2008.

JOHN SPENCER

HEAD COACH BIOGRAPHY A native of Glasgow, Scotland, John Spencer leads the Portland Timbers into their inaugural Major League Soccer season in 2011. He was appointed the first head coach in the MLS club’s history on Aug. 10, 2010. Following a standout, 18-year professional playing career, Spencer served as an assistant coach for the Houston Dynamo under head coach Dominic Kinnear for nearly five seasons (2006-2010). He helped lead the Dynamo to back-to-back MLS Cup championships in 2006 and 2007 as well as four consecutive playoff appearances. From 2006-08, Spencer also coached the Dynamo Reserves, guiding Houston’s reserve squad to the 2008 MLS Reserve Division championship. As a player, Spencer played for such noted English clubs as Chelsea, Everton and Queens Park Rangers, and Scotland’s Glasgow Rangers. In MLS, Spencer starred for the Colorado Rapids from 2001-04, becoming the only player to be the team’s MVP and scoring leader in the same season more than once. Spencer, 40, began his professional playing career in 1987 with Rangers. As a striker, he played for several top-flight clubs over 14 seasons in Scotland and England, most notably amassing 43 goals with English-power Chelsea (1992-96). Spencer also scored 20 goals in 24 games with Lai Sun of Hong Kong while on loan in the late 1980s. Spencer joined MLS and the Rapids in 2001 and was

considered the team’s undeniable leader due to his skill and work ethic. During his time with Colorado, he played in 88 games and his 37 goals ranks among franchise career leaders. Spencer led the Rapids in goals twice, set the club’s single-season mark for goals (14) and career mark for assists (17), was a two-time MLS Best XI selection (2001, 2003) and was a finalist for the league’s MVP award in 2003. During the 2003 season, Spencer scored in six straight games, one away from tying an MLS record. The two-time MLS All-Star (2001, 2003) captained the Rapids to three straight playoff appearances from 2002-04. Spencer etched his name into Rapids history on Aug. 30, 2009, when he was inducted to the Rapids Gallery of Honor. During his playing career, Spencer earned 14 caps with the Scotland National Team from 1994-97. He earned his first cap for Scotland against Russia on November 16, 1994, in Glasgow. His favorite soccer memories include playing for Scotland against England at Wembley Stadium in the 1996 European Championship. He last appeared for Scotland on May 27, 1997, in a friendly against Wales. Spencer and his wife, Amanda, have three children, Chantelle, Brad and Dylan, and live in the Portland metro area. One of Spencer’s favorite goal celebrations was to kiss his wedding ring in honor of his family.

James helped the Galaxy to a Western Conference championship in 2009, an appearance in the 2009 MLS Cup and a return trip to the conference title match in 2010. As one of the club’s longest tenured assistant coaches, James also served as the Galaxy’s director of player development in addition to his coaching duties, overseeing all aspects of the club’s youth development teams. He served as an interim head coach for the Galaxy in 2007, leading the club in a pair of postseason friendlies against the Vancouver Whitecaps and Minnesota Thunder. Following retirement from his professional playing career in 1985, James moved into the coaching ranks. He was initially hired as a youth academy coach at Ipswich Town before moving to Colchester United as the club’s reserve team manager. Following his stint at Colchester, James was on the move again as he was hired by John Taylor in 2000-2001 to be a first-team coach and chief scout at Cambridge United of England’s Football League One. A native of Norwich, England, James’ 10-plus year playing career began in England with Ipswich Town in 1975 before heading to Viking Stavangar of the Tippeligaen (Norwegian First Division) in 1978. Two years later, at the age of 21, James returned to England and was signed by Colchester United in 1980. He came to the United States in 1984 to conclude his career with the Los Angeles Lazers of the Major Indoor Soccer League. James holds coaching licenses from U.S. Soccer, UEFA and the Football Association (England), where he was on the coaching education staff.

Magee served as the Thunder head coach from 2006-08 and also coached with the U.S. Maccabi Men’s Open Team prior to joining the Timbers.

A native of St. Paul, Minn., Magee spent most of his 13-year playing career with the Minnesota Thunder (19912004), but also played parts of three seasons in MLS with the Tampa Bay Mutiny (2000-01) and Chicago Fire (200102). A forward, he recorded 64 goals and 39 assists for the Thunder, becoming the club’s all-time career scoring leader. Magee led the Thunder to six finals appearances and the USL First Division title in 1999; he was named the MVP of the finals with a pair of assists in the championship match. He was a two-time all-league selection, including a USL First Division All-League first-team nod in 1998. For his accomplishments as a player, he was inducted into the USL Hall of Fame in 2008 and is a member of the Minnesota Thunder Hall of Fame Class of 2005. He had a standout collegiate career at Wesleyan University (Conn.) and finished as the school’s all-time leading scorer.

2011 MLS PLAYER RULES AND REGULATIONS I. MLS ROSTER COMPOSITION

II. PLAYER ACQUISITION MECHANISMS

A Major League Soccer club’s first team roster is comprised of up to 30 players. All 30 players are eligible for selection to each 18-player game-day squad during the regular season and playoffs.

MLS teams may acquire players and add them to their rosters via the following mechanisms:

Salary & Budget: • Players occupying roster spots 1-20 count against the club’s 2011 salary budget of $2,675,000, and are referred to collec tively as the club’s Salary Budget Players. o Roster spots 19 and 20 are not required to be filled, and teams may spread their salary budget across only 18 Sal ary Budget Players. A minimum salary budget charge will be imputed against a team’s salary budget for each unfilled senior roster slot below 18. o The maximum budget charge for a single player is $335,000.* o A Designated Player counts $335,000 against the club’s sal ary budget, unless the player joins his club in the middle of the season, in which case his budget charge will be $167,500. * See section entitled Allocation Money below, under Player Acquisition Mechanisms, for details on buying down a player’s budget charge. • Players occupying roster spots 21-30 do not count against the club’s salary budget, and are referred to collectively as the club’s Off-Budget Players (maximum of 10 per team). o All Generation adidas players are Off-Budget players. • Players occupying roster spots 1-24 will earn at least $42,000 in 2011. • Players occupying roster spots 25-30 will earn at least $32,600 in 2011. o Clubs may elect to leave up to two of these roster spots (25 30) vacant and use $35,000 for each empty spot as alloca tion money. o Clubs may sign up to two Home Grown Players to Generation adidas contracts. Age Designations: • Any player making $32,600 must be under the age 25 (does not turn 25 or older in 2011). Domestic/International: • In 2011, a total of 144 international slots are divided among the 18 clubs. Each club began with eight international slots, which are tradable. There is no limit on the number of international slots on each club’s roster. o The remaining roster slots must belong to domestic players. For clubs based in the United States, a domestic player is either a U.S. citizen, a permanent resident (green card holder) or the holder of other special status (e.g., refugee or asylum status). •

The two MLS clubs based in Canada – Toronto FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC – began with eight international slots, but their domestic slots may be filled with either Canadian or U.S. domestic players. o MLS clubs based in Canada are required to have a minimum of three Canadian domestic players on their rosters. o Players with the legal right to work in Canada are considered Canadian domestic players (i.e., Canadian citizen, permanent resident, part of a protected class).

NOTE: The terms Home Grown and Generation adidas are used to describe mechanisms by which players are acquired. They are not roster designations. All players’ roster slots are determined by their compensation and/or age as outlined above.

(A) ALLOCATION RANKING The allocation ranking is the mechanism used to determine which MLS club has first priority to acquire a U.S. National Team player who signs with MLS after playing abroad, or a former MLS player who returns to the League after having gone to a club abroad for a transfer fee. The allocation rankings may also be used in the event two or more clubs file a request for the same player on the same day. The allocations will be ranked in reverse order of finish for the 2010 season, taking playoff performance into account. Once the club uses its allocation ranking to acquire a player, it drops to the bottom of the list. A ranking can be traded, provided that part of the compensation received in return is another club’s ranking. At all times, each club is assigned one ranking. The rankings reset at the end of each MLS League season.

Allocation Money Allocation money is a resource available to clubs in addition to their respective salary budgets.

A club may receive allocation money for: (1) failure to qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs; (2) the transfer of a player to a club outside of MLS for value; (3) expansion status; (4) qualification for the CONCACAF Champions League;

Each year the MLS Competition Committee determines the allocation amount to be made available to each club. Allocation money can be traded by clubs. Allocation money does not count against a club’s salary budget and can be used: • To sign players new to MLS (that is, a player who did not play in MLS during the previous season). • To re-sign an existing MLS player, subject to League ap proval. • To “buy-down” a player’s salary budget charge below the League maximum of $335,000. • In connection with the exercise of an option to purchase a player’s rights or the extension of a player’s contract for the second year provided the player was new to MLS in the immediately prior year.

NOTE: To protect the interests of MLS and its clubs during discussions with prospective players or clubs in other leagues, amounts of allocation money held by each club will not be shared publicly. (Similarly, most clubs in other countries do not announce the amount of money they plan to spend during a given transfer window.)

(B) DESIGNATED PLAYER The Designated Player Rule allows clubs to acquire up to three players whose salaries exceed their budget charges, with the club bearing financial responsibility for the amount of compensation above each player’s budget charge. Designated Player slots may be used to acquire players new to MLS or to retain current MLS players, subject to League approval. In 2011, a Designated Player’s salary budget charge will be $335,000, unless the player joins his club in the middle of the season, in which case his budget charge will be $167,500.

2011 MLS PLAYER RULES AND REGULATIONS Each club has two Designated Player slots, and clubs are allowed to “purchase” a third Designated Player slot for a one-time fee of $250,000 that will be dispersed in the form of allocation money to all clubs that do not have three Designated Players. Designated Player slots are not tradable. Clubs have the option of “buying down” the budget charge of a Designated Player with allocation money. The reduced charge may not be less than $150,000. (C) SUPERDRAFT The 2011 MLS SuperDraft, held Jan. 13 in Baltimore, Md., consisted of three rounds of 18 picks for a total of 54 player selections. A supplemental draft was held Jan. 18 via teleconference and consisted of three rounds. The majority of draft prospects are NCAA college seniors who have exhausted their college eligibility. Generation adidas players and non-collegiate international players are also eligible for selection in the SuperDraft and supplemental draft. Clubs may nominate players for the League’s draft-eligible list, and only players from that list may be selected. Generation adidas is a joint program between MLS and adidas that is dedicated to developing exceptional domestic talent in a professional environment. Each year, a handful of top do mestic underclassmen and youth national team players are signed to the league and placed in the SuperDraft through this program. Generation adidas players also receive an educational stipend. Draft Order: Through the Expansion Priority Draft, Vancouver Whitecaps FC earned the first selection in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft while the Portland Timbers selected second. The next six selections went to clubs that did not qualify for the 2010 MLS Cup Playoffs beginning with the club with fewest regular season points (3 points per win, one point per tie). The remaining eight positions were ranked by fewest regular season points among the teams that were eliminated in the same round of the MLS Cup Playoffs. Unless claimed on waivers, a player who was drafted by a particular team through the SuperDraft or supplemental draft and did not sign with the League, is placed on that team’s “College Protected List” until the second December 31 following the draft in question, after which the team loses the rights to the player. (D) TRADES Players, SuperDraft and supplemental draft picks, allocation money, allocation rankings, and international player slots may all be exchanged in trades approved by the MLS League Office, provided all of the necessary rules regarding roster and salary budget compliance are met and the trade is completed during a valid trading period. No trades may occur after the Roster Freeze Deadline of September 15, 2011 at 5 p.m. ET. (E) DISCOVERY SIGNINGS Clubs may make discovery claims on players not yet under MLS contract who are not subject to the allocation ranking or lottery mechanisms. Each club has the opportunity to make six discovery signings per season (expansion teams may make 10 discovery signings in their inaugural season). A club may have up to 10 discovery claims on

unsigned players at any time and may remove or add players at any time. The last day for discovery player signings is September 15, 2011 – coinciding with the roster freeze date and trade deadline. The six discovery signings can be used to fill senior roster spots only. If multiple clubs claim the same player using a discovery, the club that filed the claim first will have first rights to the player. Discovery claims expire following each season. If the League and player are unable to reach an agreement during the season, the club that first filed the discovery retains the right of first refusal in the event the player is later signed by the League. NOTE: To protect interests of MLS clubs in scouting and negotiations with prospective players, the League office will not publicize the names of players on club discovery lists, nor specify if a discovery claim has been filed on a particular player. (F) HOME GROWN PLAYER SIGNINGS A club may sign a player to his first professional contract without subjecting him to the MLS SuperDraft if the player has trained for at least one year in the club’s youth development program and has met League criteria. Players joining MLS through this mechanism are known as Home Grown Players. There is no limit to the number of Home Grown Players a club may sign in a given year. (G) RE-ENTRY PROCESS The 2011 Re-Entry Process will commence after MLS Cup. The priority order for the Re-Entry Draft is reverse order of finish in 2011, taking into account playoff performance. Available to all teams in Stage 1 of the Re-Entry draft will be: 1. Players who are at least 23 years old and have a minimum of three years experience in MLS whose options were not exercised by their clubs (available at option salary for 2012). 2.

Players who are at least 25 years old with a minimum of four years of MLS experience who are out of contract and whose club does not wish to re-sign them at their previous salary (available for at least their 2011 salary).

Players who are at least 30 years old with a minimum of eight years of MLS experience who are out of contract and whose club does not wish to re-sign them (available for at least 105% of their 2011 salary).

Players who are not selected in Stage 1 of the Re-Entry Draft will be made available in Stage 2. Clubs selecting players in Stage 2 will negotiate a new salary with the player. Players who remain unselected after Stage 2 will be available to any MLS club on a first come, first serve basis. (H) WAIVERS A team may place a player on waivers at any time during the regular season at which point he is made available to all other teams. The waiver claiming period shall commence on the first business day after the League delivers notice to teams and shall expire at 5 p.m. EST on the second business day after the Waiver Period Commencement Date. The claiming period is 48 hours.

2011 MLS PLAYER RULES AND REGULATIONS The Waiver Draft order is determined via points per game once all teams have played at least three MLS League games. If the waiver takes place prior to all teams playing in at least three League games, priority shall be granted based upon the prior year’s performance, taking playoff performance first, with teams eliminated from playoff contention at the same stage separated according to their point totals through the end of the regular season. New expansion teams shall be at the bottom of the waiver order. Once a team selects a player off waivers, that club is automatically moved to the bottom of the priority list for subsequent waiver selections in a given season, regardless of its points-per-game total. Players who may be placed on the MLS waiver wire are as follows: (i) A player waived by an MLS team in the current season; (ii) A player who completed his college eligibility within the past season, who was not made available in the SuperDraft or supplemental draft; (iii) A player who has remaining college eligibility (and was not made available in the SuperDraft or supplemental draft), but the League at its discretion and after taking into account exceptional circumstances determines the player may be offered an MLS contract; (iv) A player who has played in MLS previously where his last MLS team does not wish to exercise their right of first re fusal, except in the case of returning U.S. National Team players as stated above. (v) A player who was drafted in the SuperDraft or supplemental draft, and who after a trial with the club is not offered a contract by the first Monday of June.

(K) SEASON-ENDING INJURY REPLACEMENTS A team with a player lost to a season-ending injury can replace that player on its roster, while remaining responsible for the full amount of the injured player’s salary. A player can be placed on the seasonending injury list once another player has been signed as a replacement (provided the team has budget space). International player limits still apply at the time a season-ending replacement is made (with the player being replaced not counting against those limits). (L) SHORT-TERM INJURY REPLACEMENTS A team with a player who has a short-term injury can replace that player on its roster, while remaining responsible for the full amount of the injured player’s salary. A player can be placed on the shortterm injured reserve list once another player has been signed as a replacement (provided the team has budget space). Note that the injured player will have to sit out a minimum of six MLS League matches before he can rejoin the team’s roster. International player limits still apply at the time a short-term replacement is made (with the player being replaced not counting against those limits). NOTE: No changes may be made to a team’s active full roster during the period beginning on September 16, 2011 (day after Roster Freeze Date) through the day after MLS Cup. Nevertheless, a team may obtain players in accordance with the extreme hardship rules and procedures to replace players who are injured or otherwise legitimately unavailable after the Roster Freeze Date. Any other replacements after the Roster Freeze Date may only be made in exceptional circumstances in the League’s sole and absolute discretion.

III. METHODS OF RELEASING PLAYERS

(I) LOTTERY

(A) WAIVERS

Some players shall be assigned to MLS teams via the weighted Lottery process. Any team assigned a player through the lottery in any particular season shall not be assigned another lottery player that season unless and until all teams have received a lottery player or have agreed to waive their option to participate in a Lottery. The players made available through lotteries include:

Teams may waive players based on performance at any time during the MLS season. Players with guaranteed contracts will continue to have their salary budget charge applied to the team salary budget, subject to any settlement. Players on semi-guaranteed contracts can be waived prior to July 1 of any year and free up the corresponding budget space. If a player on a semi-guaranteed contract is waived after July 1, his salary budget charge will count against the team’s salary budget and the team waiving the player will not receive a replacement except under the normal player acquisition mechanisms. Any settlement amount will be charged to the team’s salary budget.

(i) Generation adidas players signed after the MLS SuperDraft; (ii) Draft eligible players to whom an MLS contract was offered but who failed to sign with the League prior to the Draft. The weighted lottery takes into consideration each team’s performance over its last 30 regular season games and the most recent postseason. The team with the worst record over its last 30 regular season games (dating back to previous season if necessary and taking playoff performance into account) will have the greatest probability of winning the lottery. Teams are not required to participate in a lottery. Players are assigned via the lottery system in order to prevent a player from potentially influencing his destination club with a strategic holdout.

(B) TRANSFERS AND LOANS

(J) EXTREME HARDSHIP CALL-UPS

January 21 – April 15 (Primary Window) July 15 – August 14 (Secondary Window)

Teams may add players to their roster in cases of “extreme hardship” as follows: (1) a club with three goalkeepers on its 30-man roster, but has less than two available goalkeepers or (2) a team has less than 15 available players. Extreme hardship call-ups are made on a game-by-game basis.

An MLS player may be transferred or loaned at any time to a team outside the League (subject to that team’s Federation’s transfer window), subject to the consent of the player. The registration windows – the dates between which MLS may request the transfer certificate of a player under contract in another country – are as follows:

2011 MLS PLAYER RULES AND REGULATIONS (C) CONTRACT EXPIRATION When a player’s contract expires, the player does not count against the roster or budget of the team in question. Subject to the Re-Entry Draft rules, a team retains the rights to the player indefinitely following the expiration of a contract only if attempts were made to re-sign the player. (D) BUYOUT OF GUARANTEED CONTRACT Teams may have the ability to buyout one guaranteed player as follows: • A Team may buy out one (1) guaranteed player (including a DP’s) contract during the off-season and free up the cor responding budget space. Such a buyout is at the particular MLS Team’s own expense. • A Team may not free up budget space with a buyout of a player’s salary budget charge during the season. Such a buyout will be conducted by the League and count on a Club’s budget in a manner consistent with current MLS guidelines.

IV. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL Right of first refusal grants one MLS club the first opportunity to add a player to its roster in the event that the player signs with MLS. Holding a right of first refusal applies only within MLS and does not indicate holding of the player’s International Transfer Certificate. OUT OF CONTRACT PLAYERS / OPTIONS NOT PICKED UP: Subject to the Re-Entry Draft rules, a team retains the right of first refusal to the player indefinitely only if attempts were made to re-sign the player. DRAFTED BUT NOT SIGNED: A player who was drafted by a particular team through the SuperDraft or supplemental draft and did not sign, or who as of the first Monday in June is not offered a contract after a trial and clears waivers, is placed on that team’s “College Protected List” until the second December 31 immediately following the draft in question, after which the team loses the rights to sign the player. PLAYER TRANSFERRED OUTSIDE MLS: If a team receives allocation money as a result of a player’s transfer, the team does not retain a right of first refusal.

JELD-WEN FIELD

JELD-WEN FIELD RENOVATION

Already steeped in sports and entertainment history, JELD-WEN Field underwent a $36 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. Some of these features include the new east side KeyBank Club, an expanded Timbers Team Store, new concession stands and more group and family decks. Additionally, the renovation helped the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to be a year-round community center and play host to more than 250 events a year, including Portland State football and an array of youth sports and community-based 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 new FieldTurf Duraspine Pro playing surface was installed as part of the renovation in advance of the 2011 MLS 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 JELD-WEN Field. WIDMER BROTHERS SOUTHERN FRONT Contiguous to the new east side seating areas is the Widmer Brothers 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 area that serves as a unique new gathering place for fans, offering a variety of food and Widmer Brothers beverages and a distinctive vantage point. During events, the Widmer Brothers Southern Front serves as a group picnic area and/ or performance area. The area can accommodate concert staging, which increases JELD-WEN Fieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to efficiently and costeffectively host concerts.

108

JELD-WEN FIELD RENOVATION EAST-SIDE AMENITIES AND PUBLIC AREAS In conjunction with the construction of the new east-side seating area, several other new public areas were built, including: • KeyBank Plaza - At the 18th Avenue and Morrison Street corner of JELD-WEN Field 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 Team Store - A new 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. • D.R. Horton Community Center - The new 2,200 square-foot D.R. Horton Community Center 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.

The brand new KeyBank Club sits along the east sideline.

• 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 JELD-WEN Field 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 is to be completed in time for the Timbers’ home opener on April 14.

JELD-WEN FIELD Originally built on top of a creekbed for just $500,000 in 1926, JELD-WEN Field 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, JELDWEN Field 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. 1909 Multnomah Field hosted the 27th President of the United States William H. Taft, with 20,000 school children in attendance. 1926 The stadium was formally dedicated on Oct. 9 as the University of Washington’s football team beat the University of Oregon, 23-9. More than 24,000 fans were in attendance. 1933 Still searching for a main tenant to occupy the stadium, Oregon lawmakers approved pari-mutuel betting. The Multnomah Kennel Club became the stadium’s lone major tenant until 1955. 1966 The MAC sold the stadium to the City of Portland for $2.1 million. 1955 The Los Angeles Rams and New York Giants played the first overtime game in NFL history, with the Rams prevailing 23-17 in the exhibition contest. 1957 Elvismania hit Portland, as Elvis Presley played for 14,000 screaming fans. Arriving to Multnomah Civic Stadium in a white convertible Cadillac, The King put on a 40-minute show that

left the fanatical crowd in hysteria.

1977 Pele’s New York Cosmos defeated the Seattle Sounders, 2-1, in Soccer Bowl ‘77 in front of a record 35,548 fans. 1980 Portland State quarterback Neil Lomax threw for seven first quarter touchdowns in a 105-0 win over Delaware State. 1981 The stadium underwent a significant renovation, including the addition of a laminated, wood-beamed roof, rare in today’s construction world because of the inflated cost of timber. 1985 The USFL’s Portland Breakers played one season at Civic Stadium. 1991 Rodney McCray crashed through the “Flav-R-Pac” outfield sign chasing a fly ball, earning him blooper immortality. 2000

The stadium underwent its largest renovation as more than 750 tons of steel were added to the facility as part of substantial seismic upgrades to the park to bring minor league soccer and Triple-A baseball back to Portland.

2010 Foundation work began on converting the stadium into a soccer specific facility in preparation for the Portland Timbers’ first season in MLS in 2011.

TIMBERS YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

In just their second season, the Portland Timbers U-23s posted a perfect 20-0-0 record in the Premier Development League en route to winning the 2010 PDL Championship and capping the first perfect season in PDL history. Rooted in the club’s history, the Timbers have a passion for developing the game of soccer in the state of Oregon. With an established U-23 development team already in place, the Timbers, in partnership with Oregon Youth Soccer Association, are in the process of implementing a complete youth development and academy system. The objective: to develop the state’s top players and provide a direct path from the youth levels to the top level of professional soccer in North America – Major League Soccer. At the youth level, the Timbers and OYSA have developed a new integrated and innovative youth development program, which will become the foundation of the state’s Olympic Development Program (ODP) and the MLS club’s youth academy for years to come. The program will provide elite youth players advanced training and competitive opportunities throughout Oregon. The collaborative program between the Timbers and OYSA will provide the state with a nationally recognized boy’s ODP program and a top-flight academy system to develop home-grown talent. The new program is designed to coexist with youth clubs and share in player development, allowing players to stay connected to their local clubs. One of the major components of the ODP program is the establishment of six regional training centers, which will be organized and managed by the Timbers and OYSA. The training centers will be located in the cities of Beaverton, Bend, Eugene/Salem, Gresham, Medford and Vancouver, Wash. Starting in the fall of 2011, each center will target elite male players in the U-12 to U-15 age groups in each area. From these training centers, a pool of players will be chosen to form a state ODP team at the various age levels for regional and national competitions. Under the guidance of director Mike Smith and manager Erik Lyslo, Timbers youth academy teams will be formed at the U-16 and U-18 age groups, and will compete in U.S. Soccer Developmental Academy leagues. Led by club-endorsed coaches, the Timbers Academy system will identify and develop the top youth players in the state at these age levels and provide direct exposure to U.S. National Team coaches. The formation of the Timbers Academy teams will occur in the late Spring of 2012. The pinnacle of the Timbers Academy system is the club’s top development team, the Portland Timbers U-23s, which competes in United Soccer Leagues’ Premier Development League (PDL) – the top U-23 league in North America and consists of both professional and amateur teams. Founded Nov. 11, 2008, the Timbers U-23s is an amateur team and consists of standout players from collegiate and youth programs from Oregon and throughout the Northwest. Right from the beginning, the Timbers U-23s have been a contender in the PDL’s Northwest Division posting two straight winning seasons and advancing to the postseason twice. In 2010, the Timbers U-23s assembled a historic season, posting a perfect 16-0-0 record during the regular season on their way to becoming the first undefeated champions in PDL history. Head coach Jim Rilatt, who guided the team to perfection in 2010, returns to the helm in 2011. In addition to a formalized youth system, the Timbers also offer an extensive annual youth soccer camps program for soccer players of all ages and skill levels throughout the greater-Portland area.

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 of 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 goalscorer 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.

Timber Joey helped represent the Timbers at the 2011 MLS SuperDraft in Baltimore, Md.

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.

For every goal the Timbers score, Timber Joey uses a chainsaw to slice off a log slab to give to the goal-scoring player. Throughout every match, Timber Joey riles up the crowd by revving his chainsaw.

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 were fundamental to the Timbers’ success. the 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 JELD-WEN Field. 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 Gavin Wilkinson (above) and Scot the Timbers and Juventus Primavera on June 14, 2008. Webber has since carried on the Thompson (below) ranked among club’s match-day traditions and possesses an inspirational charisma, which can bring the Timbers USL 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 JELD-WEN Field 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.
