Portland's chaos-loving soccer siblings have a new home this summer: Lents Field.
Zoom in:The Bangers and the Cherry Bombs, the city's pre-professional men's and women's soccer clubs, will play all 13 of their home games at the Southeast Portland park from May through July.
Lents Field can fit about 2,000 fans — roughly double last year's set up at the University's of Portland's pitch — with seats on the touchline and without the traditional barriers, putting the crowd right in the action.
Plus: It's adjacent to Walker Stadium (where the Pickles play), which will offer its expanded concessions, bar service and merchandise areas to soccer fans.
The bottom line:Season passes and game night tickets went fast for the Bangers last year, and with the Cherry Bombs making their debut this year, you can expect those to go fast, too.
