The Portland Trail Blazers have collaborated with 25 local bars and restaurants to create the Rip City Bar Network, where fans can enjoy their favorite beverage at their neighborhood bar while cheering on Oregon’s team. Each bar in the network will televise all Trail Blazers games while hosting special Trail Blazers-related events, offer discounts for season ticket members, and create a natural gathering place for Rip City when the Trail Blazers hit the road.
“We’re excited to partner with Michelob Ultra to launch the Rip City Bar Network, creating a network of bars throughout the city where Rip City can gather as a community to cheer on our young, dynamic team and build deep, meaningful connections,” said Laura Flynn, Senior Vice President of Commercial Partnerships. “The launch of the Rip City Bar Network, alongside our new television arrangement with BlazerVision and the Rip City TV Network, makes Trail Blazers basketball easier to access than ever before.”
As members of the Rip City Bar Network, each bar will televise all Portland Trail Blazers games, with various locations hosting watch parties throughout the 2024-25 season. All participating bars will also receive cobranded Trail Blazers and Michelob Ultra barware, with some featuring specials during Blazers games and offering exclusive discounts for Trail Blazers season ticket members.
