The Portland Timbers wrap up the regular season on Thursday as they play host to the Cleveland City Stars on Fan Appreciation Night at PGE Park at 7:15 p.m. The team’s annual celebration includes post-game fireworks, a jersey auction and a premium giveaway.
The first 2,000 fans in attendance for Thursday’s regular-season finale receive a hard hat as part of the Comcast Fan-Choice Giveaway. Fans selected the hat among several unique giveaway options.
During the match, the Timbers host their annual Jersey-Off-Our-Back auction, presented by Toyota. Through a special silent auction, fans can take home their favorite player's game-worn jersey, with proceeds benefiting the Portland Beavers & Portland Timbers Community Fund. Those with winning bids will be presented their jersey directly from the players on the field immediately following the match.
Throughout the night, the Timbers will be raffling off a variety of prizes. The first 4,000 fans will receive a raffle ticket and be entered to win a variety of prizes, including a laptop courtesy of Best Buy, gift certificates or autographed memorabilia.
Fan Appreciation Night ends with a special post-game fireworks display over the pitch at PGE Park.
