audio nba league pass is free this year and you can listen to all the games online through that. Thats how i get by in vegas and it works just fine. they shouldnt use that as a reason to complain.

Most look out only after ol' number one; if they are getting the coverage, hang those who aren't.

of any fan who passes on an opportunity to see a game in person.  It appears that the crowd helps our young team.

I am outside of comcast service and inside the league pass blackout.  It is frustrating, but it actually makes me want to drive up for a few more games this year.

     As a Blazer fan since 1975, I am not going to
stop loving the team, just exercising the power of
the pocketbook. I usually try to make it to 4 to
6 games per year. I like to get close, so I always spring for whites along with the usual
extras. I won't be attending any more games
(four & half hour drive) until all fans are allowed access to TV games. I bought League Pass
last year and watched all of the games on sattelite, but still attended 10 games.
     I won't stop loving the team, but with management claiming at every turn that they want
to reclaim fans, the TV deal is a funny way to
show the love. We all know Comcast is biding their
time until the Blazers get GO back next year. As
of now Comcast is not getting the $ they want from
Sattelite and cable (Charter) providers, but Comcast knows the Blazers will be much better with
a healthy (fingers crossed) GO. In the meantime,
they will stick to their current negotiating stance. That means no deal this year. What a
great way to retain the diehard Blazermaniacs.
Oh well, they must think we are replaceable.

Can't all the southern oregon and eastern oregon people get NBA league pass. The NBA imposed blackout is only 40 miles, isn't it?

This activist guy just wants to boycott the Blazer games, not comcast. It's out of the Blazers hands and comcast wouldn't suffer in the least.

      I switched from cable to sattelite last year in order to get all the Blazers games. It
was all good, except that most of the games were
opponents broadcasts. The alternate games were on
the regional sports network, Fox Sports Northwest.
     Obviously when the Blazers sold the broadcast rights to Comcast Sports NW, they were
offered to all the Comcast cable subscribers in
Portland metro, Salem, Eugene, etc. Due to the fact that our cable company is Charter Communications, we don't have Comcast cable in
Southern Oregon (or Central/Eastern Oregon, or
Southern washington, and other rural areas).
In addition, Comcast Sports NW has not negotiated
a deal with either of the sattelite providers
(DirecTV or Dish Network) and although it lists
the blackout range as 150 miles (I'm 300 + miles
away in Medford) the whole state of Oregon has
been ceded to Comcast Sports NW.
      I even got stuck by DirecTV for $ 49.99
of the $ 150.00 owed on League Pass, due to
an automatic renewal. Since I didn't think to
call and cancel, they tried to charge me even
though the Blazers weren't being showed in the
package. In addition, our local AM radio station
dropped the Blazer games, so we have to listen to KXL with constant fuzz and bleed over from Jazz
games. It SUCKS !
    P.S. - Were not boycotting the Blazers in
particular, just Comcast who has arbitrarily
blacked us out. I would be happy to PAY to see the Blazers & I'm sure Mr. Cushman would as well.
   P.P.S. - The underlying reason for NO DEAL ?
Comcast Sports NW knows GO is coming back next
year, along with Rudy and a #1 pick. If all
goes as planned the Blazers will be on their way
to being a top ten team with Championships in
the mix. Comcast isn't going to take less from
the sattelite providers when they hold all the
cards. SAAVVY ?
