Portland Beavers (2001-2010)
October 12, 2020
The Pacific Coast League’s Portland Beavers of 2001 to 2010 were the last of four editions of the Beavers to compete in the historic Class AAA circuit dating back to the early 20th century. The latter day Beavers arrived in 2001 as part of an ambitious $38.5 million overhaul of Portland’s aging Civic Stadium. This edition of the Beavers served as the top farm club of the San Diego Padres for all ten seasons of their existence. The team was displaced in 2011 when PGE Park was converted into a soccer-specific stadium for the purpose of bringing Major League Soccer to Portland. The Pacific Coast League baseball franchise moved away to Tucson, Arizona in 2011 as a result.
