Officials said they hope to have a deal by the 2008-09 season. Formal discussions start in January.

The Rose Garden hosts the Blazers’, Portland LumberJax lacrosse along with being one of the area’s biggest concert venues.

“The goal is to once again find a partner whose core values match our own,” Vulcan Sports and Entertainment CEO Tod Leiweke said. Leiweke was also instrumental in helping get the Qwest Field name for the Seattle Seahawks.
