New Signage in Merlo Field

New signage went up this week at Merlo Field.

Yes, I'm going to make you go to UP's Facebook page to see them:

And yes, you should become a fan of UP (on Facebook, that is).

I saw it last night at the Man City friendly. Beautiful.

The new grass is pristine, too. To see the Timbers christen it against the club that finished 5th in the world's biggest league? I don't know what to say.

Here's just a taste, to get you hooked :

The signage simply adds another layer of class to an already-magnificent facility and program - something that I repeatedly mentioned to my Gonzaga-alum friend during the Timbers/Man City match.

On another note entirely, standing just a couple of rows in front of PPT and his 105 crew was ... an experience.

Uhmm...thanks...? I thought I saw you down there.

Did you feel like going home and playing Tetris afterward?

So-

were the signs for All- Americans, Olympic team members, and National team members back up?

Patience, Geezer, patience.

Those old signs were dreadfully out of date. Hopefully even more new signs will be going up before the season starts on the backside of the grandstand which, believe me, will be awesome.

(We) old folks may not have time to be patient!!

I'm looking forward even more now to my annual rip to Portland, with all the great things happening at Merlo.

Sooo...will the old signs be going up for sale anytime soon??? My man-cave could always use more memerobilia!

For $5,400 I will sell you a game worn Coky Rochin jersey. It is the quintessential piece for any true Pilot fan man-cave.

For $5600, he'll wash it
