Football schedule announced

The Athletics Department released a schedule for the 2010 football season last week that will see a team already in transition make another move—to rural Washington County.

First-year head coach Nigel Burton and his Vikings will use Hillsboro Stadium as their home field for the 2010 season due to the scheduled remodel of PGE Park in preparation for Portland’s new Major League Soccer franchise.

The Vikings will play only four games at home and face a seven-game road schedule. Portland State’s first three games—all non-conference—will be away, and with a bye week in late September, the Vikings will not play on “home” turf until Oct. 2.

Hillsboro Stadium is located 12 miles west of campus, at the Cornelius Pass exit from Highway 26. The stadium currently seats 7,000, but according to a statement released by the school, Portland State looks to add club seating and other features that will increase the amount of available seats to 8,000.

A five-game season ticket package will include all four homes games and admission to the Sept. 18 meeting with Oregon in Eugene, and will cost $100. Ticket information is available by calling 503-725-5627.
