State report highlights issues in Moda Center renovation negotiations
Summary

A state-commissioned report regarding the renovation of the Moda Center reveals significant gaps in the proposal currently being negotiated by the state and the Trail Blazers. It notes that most comparable NBA arena renovations involved substantial private investments or long-term revenue sharing, which differ from the current plan. The report arose from legislation authorizing Oregon's $365 million commitment to the project. Additionally, it indicates a disagreement between the state's consultant and the Trail Blazers over which NBA cities provide the best comparison for Portland's situation.
