	In the early 1980s, as the National Basketball Association increased in popularity, it became apparent that the 12,888-seat Memorial Coliseum, which was the home of the Portland Trail Blazers at the time, was no longer an adequate NBA facility.

	A major factor in the choice of the site for the new arena was its close proximity to transit, with [[MAX Light Rail]] and bus service at TriMet's Coliseum Transit Center (later renamed [[Rose Quarter Transit Center]]) being adjacent to the site. In July 1995, the ''Portland Business Journal'' quoted the Trail Blazers' then-president Marshall Glickman as saying, "There is no doubt that transit made it possible for us to build here. The thing that burns everyone in terms of financing big projects like this is parking. The fact that we have a [light rail] stop outside our front door, and the potential for what we'll get with the south/north line made this the only place for us to build."<ref name="PBJ-1995jul21">{{cite news\|last=Law\|first=Steve\|title=Developers aiming to ride the rails\|work=[[Portland Business Journal]]\|date=July 21, 1995\|pages=1, 32, 33}}</ref> (The "south/north" MAX line referred to was a [[MAX Orange Line#History\|then-planned line]] from [[Clackamas Town Center]] to [[Vancouver, Washington\|Vancouver]] via [[downtown Portland]], which was canceled in 1996, but partially revived several years later, with the [[MAX Yellow Line]] connecting Moda Center with areas to the north.)
