YYYY-MM-DD Dates
Why are the dates in the section discussing the bankruptcy put in the YYYY-MM-DD form?

Ownership
Global Spectrum does not own the Rose Garden. They were contracted by the bond holders to manage it when Paul Allens Oregon Arena Corp. defaulted. Somebody ought to correct the article.


 * Yes, Global Spectrum does not own the Rose Garden. Portland Arena Managment, LLC does. However, Global Spectrum does manage the Rose Garden. Tv145033|(talk) 22:56, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

For accuracy of title...
Shouldn't this article be moved to Rose Quarter Arena with a redirect from Rose Garden Arena? It seems the current scheme, the precise opposite, is backwards. --Jgilhousen 21:49, 2 December 2006 (UTC)


 * No. Unless I'm mistaken (and I can see the place from my window), it is the Rose Garden Arena, a part of the Rose Quarter, which also includes the Memorial Coliseum.  Also, it is supposedly the busiest venue in the world; I don't know if this includes the coliseum or not. Jason McHuff 05:50, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Someone requested a move to Rose Quarter Arena
Please go to WP:RM and set up the proper talk header. -Patstuarttalk 21:14, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

POV?
"The venue would also be a great host for for either the WWE PPV Royal Rumble, Summerslam or Wrestlemania."

This should be removed or changed to be more objective and less POV. 169.199.131.165 20:59, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Done, but you're always free make such edits yourself. Katr67 21:18, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

GA nomination
Article is extensively expanded and thoroughly cited. Now submitting for GA approval. Hope is to achieve FA status, though need some pics for that. --EngineerScotty 19:38, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Good article nomination on hold
This article's Good Article promotion has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write. This is how the article, as of October 28, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:


 * 1. Well written?: [[Image:Symbol wait.svg|15px]] Mostly well written and in compliance with the Manual of Style. A few minor issues persist however. To begin, shouldn't History come just after Description? Ownership and management should likewise come before Tenants and events. I'm willing to discuss the desired order though, and we can certainly compromise. Another important thing, is Rose Garden Arena the complete and official title of the venue? Considering that I only ever hear it referred to as "The Rose Garden", I'm unsure. If this is not so, then arena must be uncapitalized. The last sentence in Description's intro needs to be converted to an appropriate Seealso link. I'm assuming that the corporate names (i.e. Oregon Arena Corporation, Vulcan Sports and Entertainment, and Portland Arena Management) are redirects to this article. All the other bolding in the article should be undone per the MoS.
 * 2. Factually accurate?: [[Image:Symbol wait.svg|15px]] The inline referencing is almost without flaw in consideration of the GA criteria, but references 19 and 20 are just urls. They should have additional information, including (if possible) author, date of publication, and retrieval information. Also, in Opening it says "...it still is well-regarded as a facility." This begs the question: well regarded by whom? Attribution here would be good, even with the following mention of the USA Today bit.
 * 3. Broad in coverage?: [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|15px]] Covers all major points concisely. I'd suggest adding more information on musical acts if you're shooting for FA eventually.
 * 4. Neutral point of view?: [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|15px]] Gives fair and equal treatment to all significant points of view.
 * 5. Article stability? [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|15px]] Not the subject of any recent or on-going edit wars.
 * 6. Images?: [[Image:Symbol wait.svg|15px]] Image:RoseGardenArenaPortland.jpg (again taken by User:Cacophony) has no source specified.

Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved. After 48 hours the article should be reviewed again. If these issues are not addressed within 7 days, the article may be failed without further notice. Thank you for your work so far. — Van Tucky  Talk 02:30, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

As an employee of the MC, I can tell you that there are only 12 skyboxes, each with a capacity of 12 people. There were originally 70 Suites but four were converted to a 100 person party suite, the only suite available to be rented for a single event. While that suite is sometimes converted to two 50 person suites, it is primarily used in it's entirety making the total 67 suites. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.180.7.165 (talk) 18:40, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

NBA All-Star Game
It seems that most teams get to host an All-Star Game a year or two after opening a new arena. Why hasn't the NBA All-Star Game ever come to the Rose Garden? 4.243.152.100 08:22, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * No large, good hotels for the NBA to use as HQ for the event. Also the whole state-sponsored sports gambling used to be an issue. Aboutmovies (talk) 11:06, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Peer review request
Next stop, WP:FA? I'm thinking the article is close (I'm working on getting more free pictures), and want to find out just how wrong I am. :) --EngineerScotty 17:22, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Title: "Arena" vs "arena"
Can someone provide proof that "arena" really isn't in the name of the venue? Jason McHuff 15:13, 2 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, the official website of the facility (www.rosequarter.com) refers to it simply as the "Rose Garden". The side of the building says "Rose Garden", not "Rose Garden Arena" (though the sign on the side of a structure isn't an acceptable Wikipedia source...)  I've located no authoritative source that identifies the place as the "Rose Garden Arena" (big A)--I've seen sources that do so (some non-local media, travel guides, and such), but such sources are generally several steps removed.  --EngineerScotty 01:05, 3 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, a Google search does come up with some examples of "Rose Garden arena"; especially look at Oregonian articles. Whatever the title, there's a lot of links to change if we're going to change it from "Rose Garden Arena". Jason McHuff (talk) 10:22, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Renaming
Should it be noted somewhere in the article that they have considered renaming the Rose Garden to a corporate sponsor? T he  C hronic  23:14, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It is noted there in a paragraph under the "Name" section. Flesh it out if you think it needs more. --Esprqii (talk) 00:01, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
