The Thursday tip-off of the NBA playoff game between the Portland Trail Blazers and Denver Nuggets will be the first big test for Oregon s newly approved vaccinated sections at arenas, theaters and other businesses.
âWe are thrilled to partner with the governor and Oregon Health Authority as the first indoor sports venue in Oregon with vaccinated sections,â Portland Trail Blazers President Chris McGowan said Monday. âRip City has shown us such tremendous support throughout the season.
Gov. Kate Brown announced the policy early Monday, saying fans going to the Trail Blazers games at the Moda Center would be among the first to try out the new plan.
