ABOUT THE TIMBERS RETRO-INSPIRED THIRD KIT On Dec. 6, 2011, the Portland Timbers and adidas unveiled the team’s official third uniform design for the 2012 season. The retro-inspired jersey is produced from 100 percent recycled materials and was designed and manufactured in Portland. “One of the greatest strengths of the Timbers is the rich history of the club,” said Merritt Paulson, president of the Timbers. “With this third kit, we are paying homage to the teams and players that inspired our city to become Soccer City, USA.” The third uniform, created by adidas, features a number of signature design elements inspired by the rich history of the club. The retro-inspired design is highlighted by a green-collared jersey that takes inspiration from historic Timbers kits and pays homage to the long-standing tradition of the Timbers in Portland. A further nod to this rich past, and distinct from the team’s primary and secondary kits, the Timbers’ history-inspired secondary crest is included on the third kit. The jersey also features unique call-outs to a script Timbers font from the North American Soccer League era of the club and an “Estd. 1975” mark to honor the year of the team’s debut season in the NASL. The inside collar is inscribed “Designed and Manufactured in Portland, OR, USA” and features a recycled symbol. Further, the club’s official jersey partner, Alaska Airlines, joined in the spirit of the third-kit design. The Alaska Airlines name on the front of the third jersey features a sans serif typeface, identical to the script prominently featured across the carrier’s fuselage in 1979 when the airline started regular jet service in Portland. The retro font was used for decades and preceded the well-known Alaska Airlines wind-script, used by the airline since the early 1990s, that is featured on the Timbers’ primary and secondary shirts. The third kit will be worn for select matches during the 2012 season; the Timbers will continue to feature their green primary jerseys and Rose City Red secondary kits in 2012.

There is no such thing as a casual fan. Passionate. Devoted. Unwavering. Those are just a few words to describe the people who follow this beautiful game.

Named to Sports Business Journal’s exclusive “Forty Under 40” class of 2011 and 2012, Paulson’s diligent efforts – an arduous process that began in 2008 – to bring a second major league sports franchise to Portland and to transform JELD-WEN Field into one of the most intimate sports venues in the country came to life during the Timbers’ inaugural MLS season in 2011. Under Paulson’s leadership, the Timbers sold out all of their regular-season home games (17 straight) in 2011, have developed award-winning marketing campaigns and community outreach programs and transformed the region’s sporting landscape by creating one of the most authentic and exciting ingame experiences in sports.

With a successful inaugural MLS campaign both on and off the field, Paulson was awarded the Slats Gill Award for Sportsperson of the Year for 2011 by the Oregon Sports Awards.

He first joined the club as a player for the Timbers’ USL First Division side in 2001, before taking over as the head coach and general manager during the club’s final years in the second division from 2007-10. As head coach, Wilkinson assembled a 50-29-39 record over four seasons in the USL First Division/USSF Division-2 Pro League and was a two-time USL First Division Coach of the Year (2007, 2009). He guided the club to three postseason berths, including its only semifinals appearances as a second-division club in 2007 and 2009. Wilkinson oversaw Cascadia Cup (a fan-based derby between Portland, Seattle and Vancouver) titles in 2009 and 2010 and is also a two-time recipient of the FieldTurf Coach of the Year for the USL First Division (2007, 2009). A defender during his playing career, Wilkinson oversaw 39 shutouts in 118 regular-season matches. He led the Timbers to one of the best seasons in USL First Division history in 2009, including a record-setting, 24game unbeaten streak and winning the Commissioner’s Cup. The Timbers set a new single-season, league record with the impressive streak (14-0-10), surpassing the previous mark of 15 games set in 2005. The club’s recordsetting run also ranks among the longest in U.S. Soccer history. Finishing in first place at 16-4-10 (58pts), Portland was awarded the Commissioner’s Cup as the league’s regular-season champion and earned a berth into the USL First Division semifinals. Wilkinson’s 13-year professional playing career included time with clubs in six different countries, including Portugal, Ireland, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia.

JOHN SPENCER

HEAD COACH BIOGRAPHY Appointed the first head coach in the club’s MLS history on Aug. 10, 2010, John Spencer completed his first season as head coach of the 2011 Portland Timbers by guiding the team to the brink of the MLS Cup playoffs.

for such noted English clubs as Chelsea, Everton and Queens Park Rangers, and Scotland’s Glasgow Rangers. As a striker, he most notably amassed 43 goals with English-power Chelsea from 1992-96.

A native of Glasgow, Scotland, Spencer led the Timbers through a successful opening MLS campaign, earning a 9-5-3 record at home - tied for third-best in the league - and nearly clinching a spot in the playoffs.

In MLS, Spencer starred for the Colorado Rapids from 2001-04, becoming the only player to be the team’s MVP and scoring leader in the same season more than once. The two-time MLS All-Star (2001, 2003) captained the Rapids to three straight playoff appearances from 2002-04. A two-time MLS Best XI selection, Spencer was inducted to the Rapids Gallery of Honor on Aug. 30, 2009.

The third-youngest head coach in MLS for the 2011 season, Spencer helped one of the league’s youngest rosters navigate the rigors of its first 34-game regular season while staying competitive in the Western Conference. Under Spencer’s tutelage, the Timbers became the first MLS expansion franchise to win their first five home games, and the first franchise to begin its home season with three straight wins since 1996. Portland’s 11 wins in 2011 ranks tied for fourth all-time among expansion teams for wins in a season. Prior to joining the Timbers, Spencer served as an assistant coach for the Houston Dynamo under head coach Dominic Kinnear for nearly five seasons (20062010). He helped lead the Dynamo to back-to-back MLS Cup championships in 2006 and 2007 as well as four consecutive playoff appearances. From 2006-08, Spencer also coached the Dynamo Reserves, guiding Houston’s reserve squad to the 2008 MLS Reserve Division championship.

Spencer, 41, was considered the Rapids’ undeniable leader due to his skill and work ethic. During his time with Colorado, he played in 88 games and his 37 goals ranks among franchise career leaders. Spencer led the Rapids in goals scored twice, set the club’s singleseason mark for goals (14) and career mark for assists (17). At the international level, Spencer earned 14 caps with the Scotland National Team from 1994-97. He earned his first cap for Scotland against Russia on November 16, 1994, in Glasgow. During his international career, Spencer played against England at Wembley Stadium in the 1996 European Championship. Spencer and his wife, Amanda, have three children, Chantelle, Brad and Dylan, and live in the Portland metro area. One of Spencer’s favorite goal celebrations was to kiss his wedding ring in honor of his family.

During an 18-year playing career, Spencer suited up

ASSISTANT COACHES AMOS MAGEE - ASSISTANT COACH Amos Magee completed his first season as an assistant coach for the MLS Timbers, as well as the head coach of the Timbers Reserves squad in 2011. Previously, he was an assistant coach for two seasons with Portland’s second-division club from 2009-10. With the Timbers Reserves, Magee guided the team to a 6-2-2 record and the fourth-highest points total (20) in the MLS Reserve League. Under Magee’s direction, the Timbers Reserves’ 24 goals in 10 matches ranked second among all MLS Reserve teams in 2011 and the team finished the season on a six-match unbeaten streak. Prior to joining MLS, Magee helped coach the second-division Timbers to back-to-back playoff appearances, win the 2009 USL First Division regular-season championship and assemble a league-record, 24-game unbeaten streak in 2009. Following a 13-year playing career, he joined the coaching ranks as a player/assistant coach in 2004 with the Minnesota Thunder of United Soccer Leagues. Magee served as the Thunder head coach from 2006-08 and also coached with the U.S. Maccabi Men’s Open Team prior to joining the Timbers. In 2008, he led the U.S. Maccabi Men’s Open Team to a gold-medal performance at the Maccabi Pan-American Games in Buenos Aires, Argentina. A native of St. Paul, Minn., Magee spent most of his 13-year playing career with the Minnesota Thunder (1991-2004), but also played parts of three seasons in MLS with the Tampa Bay Mutiny (2000-01) and Chicago Fire (2001-02). A forward, he recorded 64 goals and 39 assists for the Thunder, becoming the club’s all-time career scoring leader.

2011 SEASON MATCH RECAPS San Jose 1 at Portland Timbers 1 Sept. 21, 2011 - JELD-WEN Field (Portland, Ore.) Att. 18,627 Kenny Cooper scored in his second straight game, but a second-half strike from San Jose’s Khari Stephenson meant the Timbers had to settle for a 1-1 draw in front of a sold-out crowd at JELD-WEN Field. The draw extended Portland’s unbeaten streak to five matches, along with it being the Timbers’ fifth straight game without a loss at home. After shutting out San Jose for 70 minutes, the Timbers saw their shutout streak end at a season-long 342 consecutive minutes. Darlington Nagbe earned his third assist of the season when he was able to get around San Jose’s Bobby Burling to the end line and thread a pass to Cooper in the box.

Portland Timbers 0 at New York Red Bulls 2 Sept. 24, 2011 - Red Bull Arena (Harrison, N.J.) Att. 25,008 In a game between two teams fighting for the playoffs, New York benefited from an early goal from Dane Richards and a controversial penalty call in the second half and defeated the Timbers, 2-0. In the 21st minute, Richards used his speed to get into the box and beat Troy Perkins with a close-range shot to the far post. After the Timbers struck the framework twice in the 57th minute, the referee called a penalty after he judged that Kalif Alhassan handled the ball on the goal line. Alhassan was given a straight red card and Luke Rodgers powered home the penalty kick in the 66th minute to give New York a 2-0 lead. The loss dropped Portland out of the 10th and final playoff spot and briefly into 12th in the league table. Scoring Summary:

Diego Chara found Kenny Cooper at the edge of the box with a long pass across the field during a counterattack. Cooper chested the ball down and one-timed a deft volley to the far corner for the lead in the 25th minute. Cooper’s goal tied him for the team lead with seven, while Chara earned his fourth assist. Troy Perkins earned his career-high ninth shutout of the season. The win kept Portland in the thick of the MLS Cup playoffs hunt with 40 points and just three points shy of the final playoff spot.

Houston Dynamo 2 at Portland Timbers 0 Oct. 14, 2011, JELD-WEN Field (Portland, Ore.) Att. 20,323 Facing the team directly ahead of them in the playoff race, the Timbers conceded a goal in each half of a 2-0 loss to Houston in front of a MLS team-record tying crowd of 20,323 fans at JELD-WEN Field. Andre Hainault scored in the 36th minute off a glancing header and Danny Cruz netted a long-distance strike in the 59th minute. In a physical game in which the Dynamo fouled Portland 20 times, the Timbers struggled to find quality chances on goal. Defender David Horst struck the woodwork in the dying seconds of second-half stoppage time. The final regular-season home crowd at JELD-WEN Field gave the Timbers a total home attendance of 320,051 for the 2011 season and 17 straight sellouts. The Timbers’ playoff hopes remained alive as other results around the league ended in Portland’s favor.

2011 SEASON MATCH RECAPS Portland Timbers 1 at D.C. United 1 Oct. 19, 2011 - RFK Stadium (Washington, D.C.) Att. 14,317 In a match of major playoff importance for the Timbers, Kenny Cooper scored his team-leading eighth goal of the season in the 24th minute, but D.C. United grabbed the equalizer through Dwayne De Rosario in the 73rd minute to force a 1-1 draw. Cooper headed home a cross from Rodney Wallace to give the Timbers a leg up in a match that had potential to bring Portland closer to the brink of earning the league’s final playoff berth. De Rosario scored an MLS-leading 16th goal just 17 minutes from full time off an assist from Josh Wolff. Portland survived two stoppage time chances as Eric Brunner blocked a De Rosario shot and Troy Perkins came up with consecutive reaction saves to deny D.C. United a win. Brian Umony saw a late effort smack the crossbar for the Timbers. A win by New York the following night eliminated Portland from playoff contention.

Scoring Summary: POR: Cooper (Wallace), 24 DCU: De Rosario (Wolff), 73 Lineups: POR: GK Perkins, D Palmer, D Brunner, D Danso, D Wallace (Chabala, 79), M Alexander (Umony, 63), M Jewsbury, M Marcelin, M Chara, F Cooper (Dike, 84), F Alhassan DCU: GK Hamid, D Korb, D White, D McDonald (Ngwenya, 90+), D Woolard (da Luz, 71), M Najar, M Kitchen, M De Rosario, M Quaranta, F Wolff, F Davies (Brettschneider, 46)

Portland Timbers 1 at Real Salt Lake 1 Oct. 22, 2011 - Rio Tinto Stadium (Sandy, Utah) Att. 20,378 Portland achieved a team-first in the 2011 season finale. Defender Futty Danso struck in the 91st minute to bring the Timbers level for a 1-1 draw against Real Salt Lake. Danso’s goal, his third of the campaign, marked the first time the Timbers recorded an equalizing goal in the final 15 minutes of a game. Real Salt Lake’s Alvaro Saborio connected on the go-ahead goal with a chip shot over Troy Perkins in the 45th minute. The Timbers were playing largely for pride in a match against an RSL team hoping to clinch a top-three spot in the Western Conference. Kenny Cooper recorded his 17th straight match with a shot and eclipsed the 10,000 MLS career minutes played milestone during the first half. Scoring Summary:

2012 MLS PLAYER RULES AND REGULATIONS I. MLS ROSTER COMPOSITION

asylum status).

A Major League Soccer club’s first team roster is comprised of up to 30 players. All 30 players are eligible for selection to each 18-player game-day squad during the regular season and playoffs.

• The three MLS clubs based in Canada – Montreal Impact, Toronto FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC – began with eight international slots, but their domestic slots may be filled with either Canadian or U.S. domestic players. o MLS clubs based in Canada are required to have a minimum of three Canadian domestic players on their rosters. o Players with the legal right to work in Canada are considered Canadian domestic players (i.e., Canadian citizen, permanent resident, part of a protected class).

Salary & Budget: • Players occupying roster spots 1-20 count against the club’s 2012 salary budget of $2,810,000, and are referred to collectively as the club’s Salary Budget Players. o Roster spots 19 and 20 are not required to be filled, and teams may spread their salary budget across only 18 Salary Budget Players. A minimum salary budget charge will be imputed against a team’s salary budget for each unfilled senior roster slot below 18. o The maximum budget charge for a single player is $350,000.* o A Designated Player over the age of 23 counts as $350,000 against the club’s salary budget, unless the player joins his club in the middle of the season, in which case his budget charge will be $175,000. o A Designated Player 20 years old or younger** (referred to as Young Designated Players or Young DPs) counts as $150,000 against the club’s salary budget o A Designated Player 21-23 years old** counts as $200,000 against the club’s salary budget. o The budget charge for the midseason signing of a Young DP is $150,000 and this amount cannot be lowered with allocation funds. o Clubs will not have to buy the third DP roster slot to accommodate a Young Designated Player whereas clubs are normally required to buy that slot for a one-time fee of $250,000. o Clubs are responsible for all amounts above the budget charge for all Designated Players. * See section entitled Allocation Money below, under Player Acquisition Mechanisms, for details on buying down a player’s budget charge. ** Age of player is determined by year (not date) of birth. • Players occupying roster spots 21-30 do not count against the club’s salary budget, and are referred to collectively as the club’s Off-Budget Players (maximum of 10 per team). o All Generation adidas players are Off-Budget players. o Players occupying roster spots 1-24 will earn at least $44,000 in 2012. o Players occupying roster spots 25-30 will earn at least $33,750 in 2012. o Clubs may elect to leave up to two of these roster spots (25-30) vacant and use $35,000 for each empty spot as allocation money. o Clubs may sign up to two Homegrown Players contracts above the minimum salary and similar to Generation adidas player contract amounts. Age Designations: • Any player making $33,750 must be under the age 25 (does not turn 25 or older in 2012). Domestic/International: • In 2012, a total of 152 international slots are divided among the 19 clubs. Each club began with eight international slots, which are tradable. There is no limit on the number of international slots on each club’s roster. o The remaining roster slots must belong to domestic players. For clubs based in the United States, a domestic player is either a U.S. citizen, a permanent resident (green card holder) or the holder of other special status (e.g., refugee or

172

NOTE: The terms Homegrown and Generation adidas are used to describe mechanisms by which players are acquired. They are not roster designations. All players’ roster slots are determined by their compensation and/or age as outlined above.

II. PLAYER ACQUISITION MECHANISMS MLS teams may acquire players and add them to their rosters via the following mechanisms: (A) ALLOCATION RANKING The allocation ranking is the mechanism used to determine which MLS club has first priority to acquire a U.S. National Team player who signs with MLS after playing abroad, or a former MLS player who returns to the League after having gone to a club abroad for a transfer fee. The allocation rankings may also be used in the event two or more clubs file a request for the same player on the same day when the discovery period opens in December. The allocations will be ranked in reverse order of finish for the 2011 season, taking playoff performance into account. Once the club uses its allocation ranking to acquire a player, it drops to the bottom of the list. A ranking can be traded, provided that part of the compensation received in return is the other club’s ranking. At all times, each club is assigned one ranking. The rankings reset at the end of each MLS League season.

Allocation Money Allocation money is a resource available to clubs in addition to their respective salary budgets.

A club may receive allocation money for: (1) failure to qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs; (2) the transfer of a player to a club outside of MLS for value; (3) expansion status; (4) qualification for the CONCACAF Champions League; (5) trading in up to two Off-Budget roster spots; (6) funds from purchased third designated player roster spots.

Each year the MLS Competition Committee determines the allocation amount to be made available to each club. Allocation money can be traded by clubs. Allocation money does not count against a club’s salary budget and can be used:

• To sign players new to MLS (that is, a player who did not play in MLS during the previous season). • To re-sign an existing MLS player, subject to League approval. • To “buy-down” a player’s salary budget charge below the League maximum of $350,000. • In connection with the exercise of an option to purchase a player’s rights or the extension of a player’s contract for the second year provided the player was new to MLS in the immediately prior year.

2012 MLS PLAYER RULES AND REGULATIONS

NOTE: To protect the interests of MLS and its clubs during discussions with prospective players or clubs in other leagues, amounts of allocation money held by each club will not be shared publicly.

(B) DESIGNATED PLAYER The Designated Player Rule allows clubs to acquire up to three players whose salaries exceed their budget charges, with the club bearing financial responsibility for the amount of compensation above each player’s budget charge. Designated Player slots may be used to acquire players new to MLS or to retain current MLS players, subject to League approval. In 2012, a Designated Player over the age of 23** will carry a salary budget charge of $350,000, unless the player joins his club in the middle of the season, in which case his budget charge will be $175,000. A Designated Player 20 years old or younger** counts as $150,000 against the club’s salary budget and a Designated Player 21-23 years old counts as $200,000 against the club’s salary budget. Clubs have the option of “buying down” the budget charge of a Designated Player with allocation money. The reduced charge may not be less than $150,000. The budget charge for the midseason signing of a young Designated Player (23 years old and younger) is $150,000 and this amount cannot be lowered with allocation funds. Each club has two Designated Player slots and clubs are allowed to “purchase” a third Designated Player slot for a one-time fee of $250,000 that will be dispersed in the form of allocation money to all clubs that do not have three Designated Players. Clubs will not have to buy the third DP roster slot to accommodate Designated Players 23 years old and younger. Designated Player slots are not tradable. ** Age of player is determined by year (not date) of birth. (C) SUPERDRAFT The 2012 MLS SuperDraft, held Jan. 12 in Kansas City, Mo., consisted of two rounds of 19 picks for a total of 38 player selections. A supplemental draft was held Jan. 17 via teleconference and consisted of four rounds of 19 picks. The majority of draft prospects are NCAA college seniors who have exhausted their college eligibility. Generation adidas players and non-collegiate international players are also eligible for selection in the SuperDraft and supplemental draft. Clubs may nominate players for the League’s draft-eligible list, and only players from that list may be selected. Generation adidas is a joint program between MLS and adidas that is dedicated to developing exceptional domestic talent in a professional environment. Each year, a handful of top domestic underclassmen and youth national team players are signed to the league and placed in the SuperDraft through this program. Generation adidas players also receive an educational stipend. Draft Order: The Montreal Impact held the first overall selection in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft as expansion clubs are always given the top spot in the SuperDraft and the Supplemental Draft. The next

eight selections went to clubs that did not qualify for the 2011 MLS Cup Playoffs beginning with the club with fewest regular season points (3 points per win, one point per tie). The remaining ten positions were ranked by fewest regular season points among the teams that were eliminated in the same round of the MLS Cup Playoffs. Unless claimed on waivers, a player who was drafted by a particular team through the SuperDraft or supplemental draft and did not sign with the League, is placed on that team’s “College Protected List” until the second December 31 following the draft in question, after which the team loses the rights to the player. (D) TRADES Players, SuperDraft and Supplemental draft picks, allocation money, allocation rankings, and international player slots may all be exchanged in trades approved by the MLS League Office, provided all of the necessary rules regarding roster and salary budget compliance are met and the trade is completed during a valid trading period. No trades may occur after the Roster Freeze Deadline of September 15, 2012 at 5 p.m. ET. (E) DISCOVERY SIGNINGS Clubs may make discovery claims on players not yet under MLS contract who are not subject to the allocation ranking or lottery mechanisms. Each club has the opportunity to make six discovery signings per season (expansion teams may make 10 discovery signings in their inaugural season). A club may have up to 10 discovery claims on unsigned players at any time and may remove or add players at any time. The last day for discovery player signings is September 15, 2012 – coinciding with the roster freeze date and trade deadline. The six discovery signings can be used to fill senior roster spots only. If multiple clubs claim the same player using a discovery, the club that filed the claim first will have first rights to the player. Discovery claims expire following each season. If the League and player are unable to reach an agreement during the season, the club that first filed the discovery retains the right of first refusal in the event the player is later signed by the League. NOTE: To protect interests of MLS clubs in scouting and negotiations with prospective players, the League office will not publicize the names of players on club discovery lists, nor specify if a discovery claim has been filed on a particular player. (F) HOMEGROWN PLAYER SIGNINGS A club may sign a player to his first professional contract without subjecting him to the MLS SuperDraft if the player has trained for at least one year in the club’s youth development program and has met the League’s Homegrown Player criteria. Players joining MLS through this mechanism are known as Homegrown Players. There is no limit to the number of Homegrown Players a club may sign in a given year. (G) RE-ENTRY PROCESS The 2012 Re-Entry Process will commence after MLS Cup. The priority order for the Re-Entry Draft is reverse order of finish in 2012, taking into account playoff performance. Available to all teams in Stage 1 of the Re-Entry draft will be:

173

2012 MLS PLAYER RULES AND REGULATIONS 1. Players who are at least 23 years old and have a minimum of three years experience in MLS whose options were not exercised by their clubs (available at option salary for 2013). 2.

Players who are at least 25 years old with a minimum of four years of MLS experience who are out of contract and whose club does not wish to re-sign them at their previous salary (available for at least their 2012 salary).

Players who are at least 30 years old with a minimum of eight years of MLS experience who are out of contract and whose club does not wish to re-sign them (available for at least 105% of their 2012 salary).

Players who are not selected in Stage 1 of the Re-Entry Draft will be made available in Stage 2. Clubs selecting players in Stage 2 will negotiate a new salary with the player. Players who remain unselected after Stage 2 will be available to any MLS club on a first come, first serve basis. (H) WAIVERS A team may place a player on waivers at any time during the regular season at which point he is made available to all other teams. The waiver claiming period shall commence on the first business day after the League delivers notice to teams and shall expire at 5 p.m. EST on the second business day after the Waiver Period Commencement Date. The claiming period is 48 hours. The Waiver Draft order is determined via points per game once all teams have played at least three MLS League games. If the waiver takes place prior to all teams playing in at least three League games, priority shall be granted based upon the prior year’s performance, taking playoff performance first, with teams eliminated from playoff contention at the same stage separated according to their point totals through the end of the regular season. New expansion teams shall be at the bottom of the waiver order.

(I) LOTTERY Some players shall be assigned to MLS teams via the weighted Lottery process. Any team assigned a player through the lottery in any particular season shall not be assigned another lottery player that season unless and until all teams have received a lottery player or have agreed to waive their option to participate in a Lottery. The players made available through lotteries include:

(i) Generation adidas players signed after the MLS SuperDraft;

(ii) Draft eligible players to whom an MLS contract was offered but who failed to sign with the League prior to the Draft. The weighted lottery takes into consideration each team’s performance over its last 34 regular season games and the most recent postseason. The team with the worst record over its last 34 regular season games (dating back to previous season if necessary and taking playoff performance into account) will have the greatest probability of winning the lottery. Teams are not required to participate in a lottery. Players are assigned via the lottery system in order to prevent a player from potentially influencing his destination club with a strategic holdout. (J) EXTREME HARDSHIP CALL-UPS Teams may add players to their roster in cases of “extreme hardship” as follows: (1) a club with three goalkeepers on its 30-man roster, but has less than two available goalkeepers or (2) a team has less than 15 available players. Extreme hardship call-ups are made on a game-by-game basis. (K) SEASON-ENDING INJURY REPLACEMENTS (Season Ending Injury List)

Once a team selects a player off waivers, that club is automatically moved to the bottom of the priority list for subsequent waiver selections in a given season, regardless of its points-per-game total. Players who may be placed on the MLS waiver wire are as follows:

A team with a player lost to a season-ending injury can place the player on the Season Ending Injury List and replace that player on its roster, while remaining responsible for the full amount of the injured player’s salary. A player can be placed on the season-ending injury list once another player has been signed as a replacement (provided the team has budget space). International player limits still apply at the time a season-ending replacement is made (with the player being replaced not counting against those limits).

(L) SHORT-TERM INJURY REPLACEMENTS (Disabled List)

(i) A player waived by an MLS team in the current season;

(ii) A player who completed his college eligibility within the past season, who was not made available in the SuperDraft or Supplemental Draft; (iii) A player who has remaining college eligibility (and was not made available in the SuperDraft or Supplemental Draft), but the League at its discretion and after taking into account exceptional circumstances determines the player may be offered an MLS contract; (iv) A player who has played in MLS previously where his last MLS team does not wish to exercise their right of first refusal, except in the case of returning U.S. National Team players as stated above. (v) A player who was drafted in the SuperDraft or supplemental draft, and who after a trial with the club is not offered a contract by the first Monday of June.

174

A player who has a short-term injury can be placed on the Disabled List once another player has been signed as a replacement (provided the team has budget space). The team will remain responsible for the full amount of the injured player’s salary on the salary budget. Note: the injured player will have to sit out a minimum of six MLS League matches before he can rejoin the team’s roster. International player limits still apply at the time a short-term replacement is made (with the player being replaced not counting against those limits). NOTE: No changes may be made to a team’s active full roster during the period beginning on September 16, 2012 (day after Roster Freeze Date) through the day after MLS Cup. Nevertheless, a team may obtain players in accordance with the extreme hardship rules and procedures to replace players who are injured or otherwise legitimately unavailable after the Roster Freeze Date. Any other replacements after the Roster Freeze Date may only be made in exceptional circumstances in the League’s sole and absolute discretion.

2012 MLS PLAYER RULES AND REGULATIONS (III.) METHODS OF RELEASING PLAYERS (A) WAIVERS Teams may waive players based on performance at any time during the MLS season. Players with guaranteed contracts will continue to have their salary budget charge applied to the team salary budget, subject to any settlement. Players on semi-guaranteed contracts can be waived prior to July 1 of any year and free up the corresponding budget space. If a player on a semi-guaranteed contract is waived after July 1, his salary budget charge will count against the team’s salary budget and the team waiving the player will not receive a replacement except under the normal player acquisition mechanisms. Any settlement amount will be charged to the team’s salary budget.

following the draft in question, after which the team loses the rights to sign the player. PLAYER TRANSFERRED OUTSIDE MLS: If a team receives allocation money as a result of a player’s transfer, the team does not retain a right of first refusal.

(B) TRANSFERS AND LOANS An MLS player may be transferred or loaned at any time to a team outside the League (subject to that team’s Federation’s transfer window), subject to the consent of the player. The registration windows – the dates between which MLS may request the transfer certificate of a player under contract in another country – are as follows: January 21 – April 15 (Primary Window) June 27 – July 27 (Secondary Window) (C) CONTRACT EXPIRATION When a player’s contract expires, the player does not count against the roster or budget of the team in question. Subject to the Re-Entry Draft rules, a team retains the rights to the player indefinitely following the expiration of a contract only if attempts were made to re-sign the player. (D) BUYOUT OF GUARANTEED CONTRACT Teams may have the ability to buyout one guaranteed player as follows: • A Team may buy out one (1) guaranteed player (including a DP’s) contract during the off-season and free up the cor responding budget space. Such a buyout is at the particular MLS Team’s own expense. • A Team may not free up budget space with a buyout of a player’s salary budget charge during the season. Such a buy out will be conducted by the League and count on a Club’s budget in a manner consistent with current MLS guidelines. (IV.) RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL Right of first refusal grants one MLS club the first opportunity to add a player to its roster in the event that the player signs with MLS. Holding a right of first refusal applies only within MLS and does not indicate holding of the player’s International Transfer Certificate. OUT OF CONTRACT PLAYERS / OPTIONS NOT PICKED UP: Subject to the Re-Entry Draft rules, a team retains the right of first refusal to the player indefinitely only if attempts were made to re-sign the player. DRAFTED BUT NOT SIGNED: A player who was drafted by a particular team through the SuperDraft or supplemental draft and did not sign, or who as of the first Monday in June is not offered a contract after a trial and clears waivers, is placed on that team’s “College Protected List” until the second December 31 immediately

JELD-WEN FIELD

JELD-WEN FIELD RENOVATION

Already steeped in sports and entertainment history, JELD-WEN Field underwent a $40 million renovation for Major League Soccer, making it the most intimate, exciting and authentic soccer facility in the United States. The renovation elevated the facility to MLS standards and enhanced the fan experience of attending an event by increasing the functionality of the venue and introducing new amenities. JELD-WEN Field and Turner Construction, who oversaw the stadium’s recent renovation project, were recognized by EngineeringNews Record and named to the organization’s list of the Best of the Best Projects for 2011. JELD-WEN Field earned the award for Best Sports/Entertainment project, recognized for its excellence in design and construction. Some of the new features include the east side KeyBank Club, an expanded adidas Timbers Team Store, new concession stands and more group and family viewing decks. Additionally, the renovation helped the park’s ability to be a year-round community center and play host to more than 250 events annually, including Portland State football and an array of youth sports and communitybased events.

RENOVATION PROJECT DETAILS FIELD The playing surface shifted to the West and the North to make for a more intimate and closer-to-the-action feel. It also affords more space on the East and South sides of the stadium to create new seating areas. A new FieldTurf Duraspine Pro playing surface was installed as part of the renovation in advance of the 2011 MLS season, earning FIFA 2-Star recommended status on April 18, 2011. NEW SEATING AREAS A new seating area along the east side of the stadium was installed, running parallel to the east sideline and 18th Avenue. The top of the new stands begins at the widened public concourse at street level and extends down to the field. These new seats have industry-leading leg room and width, with a majority of the new seats covered by a new roof. More than 1,100 of the new seats are premium club seats, with the highest level of fan amenities, including a separate entrance and access to the new KeyBank Club restaurant. VIEWS The renovation design achieves the imperative of preserving substantial views into the stadium from 18th Avenue and to the city from within JELD-WEN Field. WIDMER SOUTHERN FRONT Contiguous to the new east side seating areas is the Widmer Southern Front, a bar area and seating/staging platform located behind the south goal. The area features four rows of fixed seating behind the goal, in addition to an expansive, 9,250-square-foot

186

JELD-WEN FIELD RENOVATION area that serves as a unique new gathering place for fans, offering a variety of food and Widmer Brothers beverage options and a distinctive vantage point. During events, the Southern Front serves as a group picnic area and/or performance area. The area can accommodate concert staging, which increases JELD-WEN Field’s ability to efficiently and cost-effectively host concerts. EAST-SIDE AMENITIES AND PUBLIC AREAS In conjunction with the construction of the new eastside seating area, several other new public areas were built, including: • KeyBank Plaza - At the 18th Avenue and Morrison Street corner of JELD-WEN Field is the extended KeyBank Plaza. The existing open plaza was extended in to the stadium towards the field, where fans can catch a glimpse of the renovated stadium. During non-event times, the KeyBank Plaza is open to the public, with views of the field. • adidas Timbers Team Store - A new 1,000 squarefoot team store now sits adjacent to the newly extended public plaza at 18th Avenue and SW Morrison. The store is open to the public during non-event hours. • Concession Stands/Restrooms - New concession stands and restrooms were added on the east side concourse to service the new seating areas. • KeyBank Club - As part of the new east side seating area, the new KeyBank Club will service the 1,100-plus midfield club seats. This 5,200 square-foot club has views to the field, private entrances and becomes the first sit-down restaurant in the 85-year history of the stadium. The club space is also available for rental for private functions during non-event times. • Community Room - The new 2,200 square-foot Community Room was built adjacent to the KeyBank Club. This multi-purpose space can be used extensively for a variety of community and corporate events both during non-event hours and during events. • Budweiser Balcony, Group and Family Decks - Integrated into the design of the new east-side seating areas are three new openviewing decks, including the Budweiser Balcony overlooking the northeast corner of the field. These areas provide excellent views to the field for groups and can also accommodate temporary bleacher seating to increase the capacity for larger events. ACCESS ROAD The access road connecting 18th Avenue to the playing field on the south end of JELD-WEN Field was widened and improved as part of the renovation, increasing the stadium’s ability to host concerts and other non-sporting events by greatly increasing the speed and cost efficiency of event load-in and load-out. PROVIDENCE SPORTS CARE CENTER Integrated into the new east-side seating area is the new Providence Sports Care Center. Completely privately funded, this 12,000sq. ft. facility serves the neighborhood and provides daily activity on a year-round basis to the east side of the stadium. LARGE FORMAT VIDEO/BROADCAST FACILITIES To meet MLS requirements and industry standards, new video and broadcast facilities were included in the renovation. These include new camera positions and new permanent broadcast cabling. To enhance the fan experience, a new, 37-by-20-foot HD video scoreboard was installed at the south end of the stadium, new field-side LED boards were added to various areas of the seating bowl, and new television monitors were placed in the concourse to serve the new seating areas. PRESS BOX The existing press box was brought up to league requirements. New furniture, fixtures and equipment (“FF&E”), improved broadcast booths and press working areas, introduction of air conditioning/heat, and windows that open were all installed, bringing the press area up to industry standards. TEAM AREAS Both the Timbers locker room and training areas, and the visiting areas, were updated and improved to meet league requirements. PROJECT TIMELINE Foundation work for the new east- and south-side seating structures and other preparatory work commenced in February 2010. Construction work ceased during the Timbers’ 2010 season and began again in September of 2010. All work was completed in time for the Timbers’ home opener on April 14, 2011.

JELD-WEN FIELD Originally built on top of a creekbed for just $500,000 in 1926, JELD-WEN Field has played host to an array of historical events during its time. Those events, which date back before the construction of the stadium to the original Multnomah Field, are not just limited to the sporting landscape, but include notable political and entertainment occurrences as well. Over the years, the names and games have changed, from football to baseball to soccer (and even ski jumping and dog racing). But some parts have stayed the same. Certain pieces of the stadium have been in place since the beginning; the upper seating bowl and wood benches still remain from the original construction of the facility over 85 years ago. Now, after undergoing the largest-scale seating addition in its storied history, JELDWEN Field is ready for a new, exciting chapter to be written on its illustrious timeline. THROUGH THE YEARS 1893 The two-year-old Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, now known as the MAC, leased this plot of pasture land in an area known as Tanner Creek Gulch and called it Multnomah Field. From the start, it was home to all popular outdoor athletic events of the day.

left the fanatical crowd in hysteria.

1909 Multnomah Field hosted the 27th President of the United States William H. Taft, with 20,000 school children in attendance.

1980 Portland State quarterback Neil Lomax threw for seven first quarter touchdowns in a 105-0 win over Delaware State.

1926 The stadium was formally dedicated on Oct. 9 as the University of Washington’s football team beat the University of Oregon, 23-9. More than 24,000 fans were in attendance.

1981 The stadium underwent a significant renovation, including the addition of a laminated, wood-beamed roof, rare in today’s construction world because of the inflated cost of timber.

TIMBER JOEY Embedded in long-standing tradition, the Timbers feature a unique mascot. Free of costume, big feet or cartoon-like gimmicks, the Timbers’ mascot is a true outdoorsman. With his chainsaw in tow, Joey Webber, known by fans as “Timber Joey,” helps create a one-of-kind atmosphere at JELD-WEN Field. The tradition of having an authentic lumberman as the club’s mascot began in the 1970s when the Timbers competed in the North American Soccer League. Leading the way was Timber Jim (Jim Serrill), who created and continued several fan-favorite traditions during his 12 seasons as the club’s mascot and icon (1978-82; 2001-07). Timber Jim captured the hearts of fans, hanging from rafters and light poles with his revved up chainsaw in hand. Following Serrill’s retirement in January of 2008, Webber has since carried on the club’s match-day traditions and possesses an inspirational charisma, which can bring the crowd to its feet with a quick rev of the chainsaw. A beloved Timbers match-day tradition is the sawing of a slab off a log following every Timbers goal and presenting the slice to the goalscorer in a post-match ritual. Webber was born and raised in the timber town of Philomath, Ore., where he attended the School of Forestry as a youth. He competed in state forestry and timber competitions and ranked in several events, including pole climbing, jack double bucking, axe throwing and log rolling. Growing up, Webber was also a competitive rugby player and was a member of the U.S. National Rugby Team’s U-19 pool for two years. He also competed as a bare-back bronco rider in the Northwest Professional Rodeo Association and the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association.

Follow Timber Joey on Twitter at @TimberJoey.

When not in his trademark silver hard hat or Timbers suspenders, he operates his own construction company that specializes in concrete finishing and also serves as the security manager at a local restaurant. An official induction ceremony for Webber, along with Serrill, took place during halftime of a Timbers exhibition match against Italy’s Juventus Primavera on June 14, 2008.

A long-standing club tradition, Timber Joey uses his chainsaw to slice off a log slab after each goal is scored and then presents the slab to the goal-scoring player after the match in a special post-match ceremony.

HISTORY OF THE PORTLAND TIMBERS PORTLAND TIMBERS - NORTH AMERICAN SOCCER LEAGUE (1975-82)

The world’s game of soccer formally took ground in the city of Portland in the 1970s with the inception of a professional franchise in the Portland Timbers. The Timbers’ history begins in the spring of 1975, as an expansion club in the original North America Soccer League (NASL). The club’s inaugural season in the NASL featured home crowds in excess of 20,000 fans and a surprising run that led the Timbers to Soccer Bowl ’75, playing for the NASL title. The successes of that first season inspired a highly supportive and passionate fan base which has inspired a love for the game for generations of soccer fans, helping Portland earn the moniker “Soccer City USA.” As a member of the NASL, the Timbers entertained fans against some of the era’s greatest players, including Pelé and Franz Beckenbauer. In fact, Pelé officially played his last professional soccer match in Portland at Civic Stadium at the end of the 1977 season. In just its third season as the home venue for Soccer City USA, Civic Stadium played host to Soccer Bowl ’77 between Pelé’s New York Cosmos and the Seattle Sounders on Aug. 28, 1977. At the time, the 35,548 on hand for the title match was the largest crowd to attend a Soccer Bowl. The days of the NASL marked not only the beginning of the Timbers, but fostered what has become an iconic figure in the club’s history. Jim Serrill, an actual lumberman by trade, volunteered to become the team’s mascot in 1978. As “Timber Jim,” he would establish himself in Portland’s soccer lore with his charismatic charm and high-flying stunts, in which he dangled from the stadium rafters and climbed towering poles with his revved chainsaw in hand. Through the end of the Timbers’ NASL tenure, he originated many fan-favorite traditions, including the sawing of a log slab after each goal scored by the Timbers. Like many other NASL clubs at the time, the Timbers were stocked with European players. Midfielder John Bain, from Scotland, was the NASL Timbers’ all-time leading scorer with 45 goals and 55 assists during his five seasons Mick Hoban (above) and Timber Jim (below) with the club. Several of the Timbers’ standouts from this era had ties to the were fundamental to the Timbers’ success. United Kingdom, including Manchester United product Willie Anderson, former Manchester City midfielder Jimmy Conway and head coach Vic Crowe, who managed England’s Aston Villa and the Wales National Team prior to his time in Portland. The original Timbers produced just two more playoff seasons (1978, 1981) following their appearance in the ’75 Soccer Bowl. But, while a part of the NASL, Portland became home for several beloved Timbers players: Clive Charles, Mick Hoban, Bernie Fagan, Conway and Bain, who, following their playing careers, would help grow and develop the game of soccer in Oregon, first-hand. The Timbers’ last season in the NASL was in 1982, and just two years later, the league halted operations.

HISTORY OF THE PORTLAND TIMBERS F.C. PORTLAND/PORTLAND TIMBERS (1985-90)

In the absence of the NASL, a number of smaller, more regional leagues filled the void for soccer fans across the United States. And in Portland, it was no different. Unlike its NASL predecessors stocked with European imports, F.C. Portland first took the field in 1985 with a roster comprised primarily of local talent as one of four charter members of the Western Soccer Alliance Challenge Series. The 1985 season featured a seven-game season against the San Jose Earthquakes, F.C. Seattle and Victoria Riptides. While F.C. Portland struggled on the field, the team’s ability to showcase local players was one of its main successes during its six years of existence. F.C. Portland consistently featured some of the top performers, starting with Northwest native Brent Goulet. After leading the Western Soccer Alliance in scoring the season prior, Goulet was crowned the six-team league’s MVP in 1987 while attending Portland-based Warner Pacific College. The two-time all-league forward would go on to a professional career in Europe and would play for the U.S. National Team. He was the first of many local players for whom F.C. Portland would help launch playing careers. Under new ownership of local businessman Art Dixon, F.C. Portland was renamed the Portland Timbers prior to the 1989 Western Soccer League season. With former NASL Timbers player John Bain at the helm as the team’s player/manager, the Timbers posted an 11-5 record and reached the conference semifinals. The Timbers would reap the benefit of the rise of the college soccer program at the University of Portland, and featured two UP standouts that 1989 season – goalkeeper Kasey Keller and forward Scott Benedetti. Keller, who would eventually star with the U.S. National Team, captured the Western Soccer League’s MVP and Goalkeeper of the Year awards, while Benedetti, who won the league’s scoring title in 1988, was named to the WSL All-League First Team. Despite repeat all-league efforts from Bain and Gresham, Ore., native Benedetti in 1990, the Timbers finished their final WSL season with a record of 10-10. Following the season, the WSL merged with the American Soccer League, and as a result of the new enterprise, over half of its teams would close their doors prior to the 1991 campaign, including the Timbers.

HISTORY OF THE LOG SLAB TRADITION “No, you can’t bring chainsaws in to the stands. Are you crazy?” That’s what former Timbers general manager Keith Williams said to Jim Serrill back in the late 1970s. At the time, little did Williams know that Serrill would become the team’s long-time icon as “Timber Jim” and that his saw would establish a unique and beloved Timbers tradition – the cutting of the “log slab.” After each goal scored by the Timbers at home, a slice is cut from the victory log behind the north goal and celebrated in a cloud of sawdust and cheered by the roar of a chainsaw and thousands of voices. The log slab is then paraded through the stands, and ultimately, presented to its rightful owner – the goal scorer – in a post-game ceremony. This time-honored tradition has helped make Timbers matches at JELD-WEN Field a one-of-a-kind soccer experience in the United States. Over the years, the players have changed, the uniforms have changed, and even the mascot has changed, but the tradition of cutting the log slab after each Timbers goal lives on, and the spirit of the “log slab” will continue to inspire Timbers fans for years to come.

HISTORY OF THE PORTLAND TIMBERS PORTLAND TIMBERS - UNITED SOCCER LEAGUES (2001-10)

Almost 20 years after the final NASL season, a new era of Timbers soccer was born in 2001. As a member of United Soccer Leagues, the Timbers re-captured the hearts of Soccer City USA while competing in U.S. soccer’s second division. With the USL Timbers, full-fledged professional soccer returned to the same ground where it started in the Rose City – a renovated Civic Stadium building named PGE Park. With the re-emergence of the Timbers, Timber Jim made his return pitch-side. And along with Serrill came the same game-day events, stunts and traditions that fans loved from the NASL era, including the sawing of the log slab. Serrill would continue as the team’s icon for its first seven years in USL. Reaching the playoffs in each of their first two seasons in USL’s A-League, the Timbers quickly established themselves among the league’s elite clubs. In 10 seasons as a USL franchise, the Timbers produced eight winning seasons and made seven postseason appearances. It was an attention-grabbing season in 2004, in which the Timbers won the A-League regular-season championship and dominated league honors, paving the way for the club’s success on the field and its rise in popularity. A club rooted in history and tradition, the Timbers paid tribute to the late Clive Charles at a home game on Aug. 29, 2003. The legendary defender and Portland soccer pioneer had his No. 3 retired during a halftime ceremony that featured friends, teammates and colleagues of the Timbers great, who starred for the club’s NASL franchise from 1978-81. Coincidently, the Timbers defeated the El Paso Patriots that same night, 3-0. After 12 total seasons (1978-82; 2001-07) as the team mascot and icon, Timber Jim announced his retirement in early 2008. Serrill officially passed the chainsaw off to Joey Webber in an official induction ceremony during halftime of an exhibition game between General Manager Gavin Wilkinson the Timbers and Juventus Primavera on June 14, 2008. Webber has since carried on the (above) ranked among the USL Timclub’s match-day traditions and possesses an inspirational charisma, which can bring the bers career leaders in games. crowd to its feet with a quick rev of his chainsaw. In 2009, the Timbers turned in one of the best seasons in the history of the USL First Division (previously called the A-League). On their way to winning the USL First Division Commissioner’s Cup as the regular-season champion that season, the Timbers assembled a record-setting, 24-game unbeaten streak (14-0-10). The Timbers’ unbeaten streak of 2009 shattered the league’s previous mark of 15 games set in 2005. The club’s run also ranks among the longest unbeaten streaks in professional U.S. soccer history. With a passionate and loyal supporters group in the Timbers Army, the Timbers’ attendance at PGE Park more than doubled from 2004 to their final second-division season in 2010. With a Major League Soccer expansion franchise on the horizon, the Timbers drew 155,006 total regular-season fans in 2010, which was more than in any other season in the USL era. The Timbers welcomed their one millionth fan in their 10-year span as a second-division club during their 2010 regular-season home finale on Sept. 2, 2010 – a celebratory night and a fitting end to a memorable era for many in Soccer City USA.

TIMBERS ACADEMY & PLAYER DEVELOPMENT Rooted in the club’s deep history, the Portland Timbers have a passion for developing both youth players and the sport of soccer in the region. Through partnerships established with Oregon Youth Soccer Association (OYSA) and Oregon’s Olympic Development Program (ODP), the Timbers are building a comprehensive vertical development structure, which will allow players within the club’s development territory a direct path from the youth levels to the top level of professional soccer in North America - Major League Soccer. The Timbers Academy and the club’s youth development programs are overseen by directors Mike Smith and Adam Smith as well as manager Erik Lyslo. PORTLAND TIMBERS ACADEMY The Timbers and OYSA have developed a new integrated and innovative youth development program, which serves as the foundation of Oregon’s ODP and the MLS club’s youth academy system. The program provides elite youth players advanced training and competitive opportunities throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington. The collaborative partnership between the Timbers and OYSA provides Oregon with a nationally recognized boy’s ODP program and a top-flight academy system to develop home-grown talent. The new program is designed to coexist with youth clubs and share in player development, allowing players to stay connected to their local clubs. The Timbers Academy will commence in the fall of 2012, with teams competing in the U-16 and U-18 age brackets of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy. Timbers Academy teams will compete in the Northwest Division against other elite youth teams in the region, including academy teams from MLS clubs Seattle Sounders FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC. The teams will also be a part of the annual Generation adidas Cup, facing off against academy teams from across MLS. Led by club-endorsed coaches, the Timbers Academy system will also offer youth players direct exposure to U.S. National Team coaches. Additionally, the Timbers have future plans to form an elite girls division as part of the Oregon’s ODP program and the club’s academy structure. TIMBERS REGIONAL TRAINING CENTERS One of the major components of the Timbers development structure and the ODP program is the establishment of six Regional Training Centers throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington. The Regional Training Centers are organized and managed in partnership by the Timbers and OYSA, and located in the cities of Beaverton, Bend, Eugene/Salem, Gresham, Medford and Vancouver, Wash. Each Regional Training Center features a staff of clubendorsed coaches. Under the Timbers-OYSA partnership, the Regional Training Centers were formed in the fall of 2011 and each center is designed to identify elite boy players in the U-12 to U-14 age groups in its designated area. From these training centers, a pool of players is chosen to form state ODP teams at various age levels for regional and national competitions. adidas TIMBERS ALLIANCE At the foundation of the development structure, the Timbers have formed the adidas Timbers Alliance, a strategic partnership with elite local youth clubs in the Timbers’ development territory, designed to build unique working relationships and development opportunities to help channel the top youth players towards the Timbers’ development programs and the Timbers Academy. The adidas Timbers Alliance includes three youth clubs in the Portland-metro area - the Eastside Timbers (formerly Eastside United FC), Vancouver United Timbers (formerly Columbia Timbers) and Westside Timbers (formerly Westside Metros). As part of the alliance, the Major League Soccer club will share coaching resources and curriculum with alliance clubs in the development of both boys and girls youth players. Additionally, youth clubs in the alliance will be allowed the unique privilege of incorporating the Timbers brand into their club name and wear a special adidas Timbers Alliance badge as part of the uniform.

TIMBERS ACADEMY & PLAYER DEVELOPMENT PORTLAND TIMBERS U-23s The pinnacle of the Timbers Academy system is the club’s top development team, the Portland Timbers U-23s, which competes in United Soccer Leagues’ Premier Development League (PDL) – the top U-23 league in North America and consists of both professional and amateur teams. Founded Nov. 11, 2008, the Timbers U-23s is an amateur team, which consists of standout players from college and youth programs throughout Oregon and across the country. Right from the beginning, the Timbers U-23s have been a contender in the PDL’s Northwest Division, posting winning seasons and reaching the playoffs in each of their first two seasons in the league. In 2010, the Timbers U-23s assembled a historic season, recording a perfect 20-0-0 record through the regular season and postseason on their way to becoming the first undefeated champion in PDL history. The Timbers U-23s have helped produced four first-team players in midfielder Freddie Braun, goalkeeper Jake Gleeson, defender Ryan Kawulok and forward Brent Richards. From Camas, Wash., Richards became the MLS Timbers’ first Homegrown Player in 2012. The Timbers U-23s are led by head coach Jim Rilatt, the 2010 PDL Coach of the Year. Rilatt has served as the team’s head coach since its inaugural season in 2009.

ABOUT PORTLAND

Known as “The City of Roses,” among other nicknames, Portland is the largest city in Oregon and the secondlargest in the Pacific Northwest. Located just 70 miles from the Pacific Ocean, Portland sits at the convergence of the Willamette (pronounced will-LAM-et) and Columbia Rivers. About 50 miles to the east sits the permanently snowcapped Mt. Hood, which is the state’s highest peak and part of the Cascade mountain range. Because of its proximity to both the coast and the mountain, Portland is a popular destination for those seeking outdoor thrills. Whether it’s backpacking, biking or just walking through the city’s many parks, the mild summer months provide the perfect opportunity for Portland’s 529,000 residents to get out and enjoy the sunshine. A popular stop among Portland’s visitors is its pedestrian-friendly downtown. Resembling some of Europe’s finest cities, downtown Portland boasts blocks just half the size of most American city blocks. Coupled with plenty of independent shops and food carts, there is no wonder why Portland is often referred to as the United States’ most European city. Portland boasts a plethora of microbreweries and because of that, some have dubbed it the “Microbrew Capital of the World.” With more than 30 independently run breweries within city limits, including the renowned Widmer Brothers Brewery (the home of America’s Original Hefeweizen), the next pint is rarely more than a block away. DID YOU KNOW? • The Portland Saturday Market is the largest continuously operating open-air crafts market in the United States. • Powell’s City of Books, occupying an entire city block, is the world’s largest independent bookstore. • The name of the city was decided via a coin flip between a settler from Boston and one from Portland, Maine. • The Port of Portland is the largest wheat export port in the United States. • Portland’s Junior Rose Festival Parade is the largest children’s parade in America. • Portlandia is the second-largest hammered-copper statue in the world (the Statue of Liberty is the first). • Portland is known as the epicenter of America’s craft-brewing renaissance. • Portland is home to both the world’s smallest dedicated park, Mill Ends Park (24 inches in size), and the nation’s largest forested city wilderness (5,000-acre Forest Park). • There are 37,000 acres of parks in the Portland metro area. • Portland’s nicknames include “Rose City,” “City of Bridges” and “River City.” • The city of Portland was officially incorporated on February 8, 1851. • There is no sales tax in Oregon.
