The Trail Blazers are going to throw a party for fans in Portland who want to watch Games 1 and 2 of the 2019 NBA Western Conference Finals among their fellow fans at the Rose Quarter Commons, just outside the Moda Center, on Tuesday and Thursday this week.

Admission to both watch parties is free and so is parking as long as you get into one of the Rose Quarter garages on site. The events will be family friendly and activities in the Rose Quarter commons area will include a live broadcast of the game being shown on a huge 30-foot outdoor screen, food and beverages available for purchase at Dr. Jack’s restaurant on site and some special guests to get the crowd excited. After these two opening games on the road, the Blazers will return to their home floor at the Moda Center on Saturday and next Monday to host Games 3 and 4. If you are interested in attending, you might still be able to buy tickets to those games.
