Sergio makes his return to the Rose Garden right off the bat and the fun only starts there. Or something.

Also, I bet a group of local architects is somewhere tipping pints to this mildly interesting news...
As part of a season-long celebration of the team's 40th anniversary, the Portland Trail Blazers will return to the Memorial Coliseum on October 14, highlighting an eight-game preseason schedule announced today.
For the first time, the Trail Blazers will return to the venue they called home from 1970-95. Portland will host the Phoenix Suns, reuniting the two teams that played in the final NBA game at the Coliseum on Tuesday, May 2, 1995.
