Rose Garden
One Center Court, Suite 100
Portland, OR
The total enclosed area of the Rose Garden is over 785,000 SF on eight primary levels. Five levels are open to the public during events. The general public will use two major concourses, the 100 Level (Main Concourse), and the 300 Level (Upper Concourse), along with a portion of the Event Level. Sandwiched between the 100 and 300 Levels are the 200 Level (Preferred), and the Suite Level.
The Rose Garden is a flexible, multi-purpose facility hosting a variety of events including NBA and college basketball, professional hockey, indoor soccer, indoor track & field, gymnastics, major concerts, monster truck rallies, rodeo and bull riding, circuses, ice shows, boxing, "professional" wrestling, and convention and trade shows. Total capacity for NBA Basketball will be over 21,300.
Patrons of the two major concourses and the Event Level public spaces will be served by 19 concession stands comprising the following nine themes: The Blaze: Flame Broiled Burgers, The Flying Wok: Anti Gravity Asian Cuisine, Houndogs: Viva Las Hot Dogs, Bridgetown Cantina and Truck Stop, Rosies Frying Circus, Meschugenah Mamas: New York Style Deli, I Scream: So Good Its Scary, Arena Roma: Italian Food Worth Fighting For, and Havanas: Cigars, Wines, Espresso. Coined "Food TV," menus at these stands will be displayed on video monitors via laser disc players located in a centralized Event Level computer room.
Over 650 televisions are used within the Rose Garden's concourses, restaurants, clubs, suites, and network of back-of-house areas.
Thirty-two public restrooms on four arena levels make the Rose Garden among the most "bladder friendly" facility of its kind in the world. In response to demand, the total number of women's water closets will out number those allocated to men by nearly three to one.
Located on the 200 Level is the Rotunda Sports Bar, the Rose Room (executive banquet facility), a lounge with a buffet-style restaurant, a concession stand, a grill, and three outdoor terraces (two smoking and one non-smoking).
Seventy luxury suites wrap an entire arena level, midway between the lower and upper seating tiers. Each suite has a capacity of 22 persons and includes a wet bar, catered food service, a restroom and changing area, three televisions (two 31" monitors behind the wet bar and a 10" monitor in the restroom), and a stereo system.
Located in the depths of the Rose Garden's Event Level, the Command Center is the "eyes, ears, and brain" of the Rose Quarter. This high-tech room controls Rose Quarter and Commons lighting and sound systems, monitors security for the Rose Quarter and Rose Garden, monitors and assists in Rose Quarter traffic control, monitors and controls Rose Garden building/engineering systems, and monitors and controls the Rose Garden fire alarm system.

The highest point of the Rose Garden's 210,000 square foot roof is 140 feet above the ice-floor slab at the Event Level. The bottom chords of the roof trusses are 107 feet above the ice-floor slab. Within the roof structure is a network of catwalks totaling 3,100 lineal feet. Span of the primary trusses at the widest point is 343 feet.
Suspended above the event floor is a feature found in no other multi-functional arena in the world: the Acoustical Cloud. Comprising eight rows of 20 panels for a total of 160 panels, the Cloud will allow for customized acoustical treatments of the arena interior to correspond with the specific event or show-type requirements. Each rotating 10 foot by 10 foot square panel has a hard and a soft side. For an event where many loud reverberations are desired, such as a basketball game, the hard panel surface would face downward toward the event action and crowd, reflecting noise back to its source. During events where acoustical control and overall sound quality must be at a premium, such as a concert, the soft panel surface would face downward absorbing extraneous sound.
