About Moda Center Events

For Moda Center tickets and general venue information, read below.

Located in the Rose Quarter, the Moda Center is home to the Portland Trail Blazers of the NBA, and is the venue for one of the more passionate fan bases in all of American pro sports. Opened in 1995, Moda Center has seen multiple iterations of the Trail Blazers play elite level basketball while competing in the NBA Playoffs at the venue formerly known as the Rose Garden.

Trail Blazers history is inextricably linked to their success at the Moda Center. In the 1990s into the 2000s, the Damon Stoudamire and Rasheed Wallace led Trail Blazers were one of the more entertaining teams in the NBA, while maintaining a high level of play throughout their time together. The passing of Arvydas Sabonis consistently dazzled the crowd at the then-Rose Garden, as Portland was one of the best teams in the league during that era.

Portland reached elite status in the NBA again in the early 2010s, when Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge led the team to plenty of wins in front of the Moda Center crowd. The most famous victory of that era of Trail Blazers basketball came in the 2011 playoffs, when Portland came back from a 23 point deficit late in the third quarter to defeat the Dallas Mavericks in the final minutes of the game in front of a delirious Moda Center crowd.

Since then, the duo of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum have taken up the mantle of leading the Trail Blazers out in front of the crowd at Moda Center, a crowd that is just as passionate and loud as ever. They have led Portland into some epic playoff battles against the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors to name a few, as the Portland Trail Blazers continue to play exciting basketball at the Moda Center.
