Facing the Crowd (Outside Gate D and SeatGeek Gate F)
Designed by artist Michael Stutz, the two sculptures – one a child, one an old man – were created by the City of Portland's Percent for Art program and installed in 2001.
Clyde Best Mural (near Section 105)
A concourse wall mural painted in 2023 by Portland artist Kyra Watkins, the artwork honors Timbers NASL legend Clyde Best who played for the Timbers from 1977-81, scoring 38 goals and tallying 27 assists in 115 games.
The Encore Wall (Near Team Store entrance by SeatGeek Gate F)
Hung on the concourse in the stadium's NW side, this wall has concert posters of some of the recent performers at Providence Park including The Foo Fighters, Post Malone and more.
MLS Cup Trophy (Near First Tech Suites Elevator....Look up!)
Housed in the Providence Park lobby but visible from the concourse, this is the 2015 MLS Cup trophy won by the Timbers during their memorable MLS championship season.
Double Post Bar (Section 109)
As part of the team's big 2015 season, the Timbers famously defeated Sporting Kansas City in an 11-round penalty kick shootout – the longest in league history – that included what would have been a game-deciding shot from SKC that bounced off both Portland goal posts and away. Portland would go on to win 7-6. This bar is above the famous goal in the north end.
Jantzen Diving Girl (Section 109)
Once hung on the left field wall when Providence Park – then known as Civic Stadium – held baseball games, the Jantzen Diving Girl was used to promote Jantzen Swimwear a local company founded in Portland in 1916. It is one of only four known to still be in existence.
2015 Championship Log (Modelo Mercado)
As part of the club's 2015 MLS Cup season, this log made the 2,400 mile journey from the Providence Park North End to MAPFRE Stadium in Columbus, Ohio for the cup final on Dec. 6, 2015. Though not allowed in the stadium in Columbus, fans celebrated with this log outside when the Timbers beat the Columbus Crew 2-1.
History Wall (Near Bank of America Gate B and Toyota Gate C
Created in 2011 when the stadium's east side was first built, this wall celebrates the stadium's rich history going all the way back to it's orgins at Tanner Creek and it's construction as Multnomah Stadium by the Multnomah Athletic Club.
Peanut Roaster (Section 121)
This vintage peanut roster is a part of the park's baseball history dating back to the days when the Portland Beavers and Portland Mavericks took to the diamond. Roasted peanuts were a staple of the ballpark experience and machines like this were part of that tradition.
Bell Section (Section 95)
This bell once hung near the hand-operated baseball scoreboard that was built near center field of the park's baseball configuration. Now relocated, it continues as a preserved piece of stadium history.
