2009 was an amazing year here at the Rose Quarter.  We had so many great shows, as well as some memorable and historic moments!  Here are just a few reasons and a video to show you why we loved 2009!

• Miley Cyrus and the American Idols Live 2009 Tour both kicked off their nationwide tours in Portland at the Rose Quarter.
• The UFC102 octagon made an appearance at the Rose Garden for its first-ever Portland stop, where we watched Oregonian Randy Couture fight in the main event.
• Taylor Swift and Brad Paisley both played phenomenal shows in a SOLD OUT Rose Garden in 2009.
• The Rose Quarter experienced its busiest weekend in history during the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship, OSAA Dance & Drill, and the Rock & Worship Roadshow with over 94,000 people attending these events.
• Star Wars: In Concert stopped at the Rose Garden on its first ever nationwide tour.
• LMFAO drew a huge crowd for a free show outside the Rose Garden during Dew Tour, performing live “in Portland trick”!

2010 looks like it will be an amazing year, even better than 2009.  We’ve got Tyler Perry, the rescheduled Billy Joel and Elton John show, Monster Jam, Walking with Dinosaurs, George Strait, John Mayer, Michael Buble, and so many more shows (see our website for an upcoming events calendar) coming in the new year.  We can’t wait for the rest of 2010!!
