The Hops are the first team to call Oregon’s fifth-largest city (pop. 107,730) home, but neighboring Portland has been host to teams going back to the 1890s. The Portland Beavers were a charter member of the Pacific Coast League in 1903 and had a presence in that circuit, off and on, until 2010. One of those gaps occurred from 1973-77, when the Portland Mavericks filled the void. An independent team owned by former actor Bing Russell, the Mavericks lived up to their name by filling out the roster with a cast of characters that included former actors; Bing’s son, the soon-to-be-actor Kurt Russell; and Major Leaguer Jim Bouton. (The documentary “The Battered Bastards of Baseball” is an outstanding look back at the team.)

Hillsboro Ballpark is part of the Gordon Faber Recreation Complex, which includes other baseball/softball fields (including the Hops' previous ballpark) as well as a football/soccer stadium.

The Hops' previous home, known as Ron Tonkin Field for the bulk of its existence, opened in 2012. The Hops were a short-season club when it was built, but in 2021 the team shifted to High-A as part of a larger reorganization of Minor League Baseball. MLB updated its Minor League facility standards as part of that reorganization, and the Hops' ballpark needed extensive renovations in order to meet them. It was decided that building a new ballpark would be a better option, resulting in a facility that can host events year-round while fully accommodating the needs of a full-season Minor League team. Hillsboro Ballpark, loaded with fan and player amenities, is the largest stadium built in the Portland Metro area since the Moda Center (home of the Portland Trailblazers) opened in 1995.

Hillsboro Ballpark is located adjacent to the Hops' previous ballpark, still be utilized by the city of Hillsboro, but is an altogether different beast. A wide staircase leads to the main entrance of the facility, which boasts a spacious wraparound concourse that includes a food hall and beer garden. The second level is home to a 9,000-square-foot club area, overlooking a shaded seating bowl. The playing field is comprised of sustainable synthetic turf, which the Hops say is "the first of its kind in a Minor League ballpark in the United States.

Concessions

Since their inception in 2012 the Hops put a premium on local ingredients and culinary creativity, and Hillsboro Ballpark is sure to continue (and improve upon) that approach. The concourse food hall boasts six separate dining options, and there will be a number of carts and kiosks in addition. Your appetite will be satiated, as will your thirst.(This is, after all, a team called the Hops. Local beer options are plentiful.)

Mascot

There are some 80 varieties of hops, so rather than choose one for the name of the mascot (like Cascade or Chinook or Simcoe …), the team instead went with a fourth grader's suggestion. That child may not have had any knowledge of the brewing process, but the name chosen – Barley The Hop – combines two ingredients in beer making to produce a robust, full-bodied creation loved by many. If the mascot unexpectedly shows up in the background of your pictures, you’ve got yourself … a Hop bomb!

Local Attractions

As the seat of Washington County, Hillsboro boasts a bustling Main Street that includes arts centers, theaters, shops, antique stores and restaurants. Much of the baseball season overlaps with a farmers market on Saturdays (from May to October), the Hillsboro Tuesday Marketplace (June to August) and the Hillsboro Art Walk, which features artists and musicians throughout town on the first Tuesday of every month.

Hillsboro Ballpark sits along a well-developed stretch of U.S. 26 – Sunset Highway – that leads from Portland to the Oregon Coast, about 45 minutes west. Head toward the Pacific to tour the Tillamook Creamery and try its cheese and ice cream or visit Cannon Beach and the iconic Haystack Rock, which has popped up in movies like “The Goonies” and “Kindergarten Cop.”

Portland is about 20 minutes east of the ballpark. There, you can browse Powell’s Books, the world’s largest independent bookstore; spend the afternoon at the zoo or the art museum; or sample the local cuisine. Fans of “The Simpsons” may want to tour creator Matt Groening’s hometown to track down the landmarks and streets that inspired the names of characters on the show.

Outdoors enthusiasts might continue past Portland to explore the Columbia River Gorge, hike to the top of Multnomah Falls or visit Mount Hood, Oregon’s highest peak – where the ski season stretches into early May.

Food and Drink

Visitors to the area may default to Portland for dining options, but Hillsboro and the Tualatin Valley can measure up. Copper River is about 10 minutes from the ballpark and serves steak, burgers, seafood, pasta and more. Both cities also offer plenty of options when it comes to wine and beer, and those in town for a few days can branch out to explore one of the region's wine loops or ale trails.

Where to Stay

If you're looking to stay outside of Portland proper, no problem. There are many reasonably priced options within a 15-minute drive to the ballpark.

Moving On

The Hops could be incorporated into a Pacific Northwest Minor League road trip that includes the Eugene Emeralds to the south and Tacoma Rainiers, Everett AquaSox and Vancouver Canadians to the north. Of course, you might want to visit the Seattle Mariners while you're at it. Consider also the Portland Pickles, a summer-collegiate team known for their zany, anything-goes gameday atmosphere.
