It looks like Rip City just increased its population.
The Portland Trail Blazers, in partnership with Michelob Ultra, have launched the Rip City Bar Network — a collection of 25 bars across Portland where fans can watch home + away games together.
The list features favorites like Hop Valley, Spirit of 77, and Rogue Public House. Other local hangouts are encouraged to join in on the fun.
While the Trail Blazers hope this will help reach fans where they are, the program is also intended to support local bars, which generally see a lull in foot traffic during the winter.
In addition to streaming the games, several of these bars may also host related events or offer drink specials for season ticket members.
Ready to give it a shot? The next game tips off Saturday, Nov. 23 at 5 p.m. against the Houston Rockets — where are you watching?
