PORTLAND — To understand the level of attention to detail of Portland Trail Blazers president Chris McGowan, you needn’t look further than a one-of-a-kind pamphlet on his desk detailing each and every one of the food options at the Moda Center.

Personally, he’s into the “simple” foods these days. But in this fourth year in charge of the business side of the Blazers, the offerings at the arena are as complex as ever.

A seafood brand that offers locally sourced half-shell oysters and seafood as well as the growing presence of local brands such as Cha! Cha! Cha!, Bunk Sandwiches and Kure Juice are just the start, he says.

“When you go through it, you see brands that we’ve created, you see local brands,” McGowan said while working through the pamphlet he keeps to be aware of everything they have. “If you just look at the range of things you can get here, it’s incredible. And it’s been good for everyone and we will continue to push the limits. We won’t stop at oysters is what I’ll say.”

Under McGowan’s leadership, the Blazers game experience has undergone a near-complete overhaul and after years of not meeting their goals the Blazers organization is doing better than ever.
