PORTLAND, Ore. (January 7, 2017) – The Portland Trail Blazers and the NBA have announced postponement of this weekend’s home game versus the Detroit Pistons from tonight to Sunday at 6 p.m. Local weather forecasts calling for dangerous levels of ice and snow in Oregon and Southwest Washington led to the postponement decision. Fans already holding tickets originally issued for tonight can use those tickets for entry at Moda Center on Sunday evening, or exchange them for a comparably valued game in the future.

Single Game Buyers:

If you purchased a ticket for tonight's game they will be honored at its rescheduled date and time, Sunday, January 8 at 6:00pm. Limited exchanges will be available for a like, valued game as determined by the Trail Blazers based on available inventory.

Full Season, Half Season and Partial Season Ticket Holders, Suite Licensees, Groups, Mini-Packages and Suite Rentals will be communicated to directly via e-mail with more information about your ticket options.

Saturday’s hockey game between the Portland Winterhawks and Everett Silvertips at Veterans Memorial Coliseum has been postponed to a future date to be announced later by the team. Information about the new date and ticketing will be available soon at www.winterhawks.com.

“The safety of our fans and players is always the highest priority, and this decision to delay our home game until Sunday was made with that in mind,” said Chris McGowan, President & CEO of the Trail Blazers and Rose Quarter. “Input from the NBA, local government and public safety officials also played a role in our decision to postpone until Sunday.”
