Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek signed a bill Thursday that would authorize up to $800 mi
llion to help finance a Major League Baseball stadium in Southwest Portland. The
bill would divert income taxes from a team’s players and some employees to pay
off bonds over 30 years.
Senate Bill 110 is the first step — first inning, if you will — in a long camp
aign that might someday bring Major League Baseball to Oregon’s largest city.
Backers need to find an owner willing to pay billions of dollars in expansion fe
es to land a new team and cover more than $1 billion in additional stadium costs
. Should that happen, Portland would still have to beat out rival cities like Sa
lt Lake City, which has already identified a prospective owner for an expansion
team.
奥勒冈州州长Tina Kotek于周四签署了一项法案，授权最多8亿美元的资金，用于协助在Por
tland西南部兴建一座MLB球场，这项法案将把球队球员及部分员工的所得税收入转作偿还30
年期债券的资金来源
这项参议院第110号法案可说是实现这项愿景的第一步 —— 或者用棒球术语来说，是“第
一局”的开局，这是一场漫长的行动，目标是有朝一日将MLB球队带到奥勒冈州最大的城市
。
然而推动者仍需找到愿意支付数十亿美元扩编权利金的球队老板，并承担额外超过10亿美元
的球场建设费用
即便如此Portland仍需击败其他竞争城市，例如已经找好潜在球队拥有者的盐湖城，才能成
功争取到大联盟扩编球队
