Portland Diamond Project president discusses the financials behind brining the MLB to Oregon

The Portland Diamond Project is asking the Oregon Legislature for $800 million in bonds to help construct a professional baseball stadium in Portland.

The legislation builds on a 2003 bill, Senate Bill 5, which approved $150 million in bonds if Portland landed a team.

Oregon Sen. Mark Meek sponsored an amendment to the current bill, Senate Bill 110, that would increase the approved bonds by $650 million on Thursday.
