How to Catch Portland Trail Blazers Games Without the Long Drive

NBA fans in Washington have been looking forward to the start of the new season. After watching a few of the pre-season games, we're ready for some action! Since there is no NBA team in Washington State anymore (RIP Seattle Supersonics), the next best thing we can root for are the Portland Trail Blazers.

Portland Trail Blazers Are the Closest NBA Fix for WA Fans

Home games are played in Portland at the MODA Center. Season tickets, single tickets, and group tickets are available.

The first game of the season is Wednesday, October 22nd, when the Trail Blazers will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves at 7 p.m. There will be some fun themed nights you might want to get tickets for or catch a game against one of the Trail Blazer's top rivals, like the Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors, and the L.A. Lakers.

On some themed nights throughout the season, the first 5,000 in the building get a free Trail Blazers commemorative glass.

"Every Sunday afternoon tipoff enjoy the ultimate family time: fun zones throughout the concourse, face painting, and a value menu." - NBA.com

How to Catch Trail Blazers Games Without the Long Drive

If you're a scaredy cat and afraid to drive to Portland to watch the games, you can buy a NBA Pass on Amazon Prime (but you'll only be able to watch the replays, not the live game).

The BlazerVision app will let you watch the Trail Blazers games live if you live in Washington State, but it will cost you $120 for the season. At least you'll get 2 tickets to an upcoming Trail Blazers game in the deal.
