Newberg is a suburb of Portland, Oregon and has a population of around 20,000 residents. The community is also home to George Fox University. The University’s Wheeler Sports Center has a basketball venue with a capacity of 2,750. George Fox has a Division III NCAA basketball program. The closest competitor would be the Portland Chinocks if they decide to continue in the IBL. Click here to read the OMT blog that discusses this.

Newberg is a growing community that likely could handle an IBL franchise. The median family income for the community is over $51,000 so that is a positive. IBL season tickets would be very affordable for these families. The local paper is know as The Newberg Graphic. It is a weekly publication owned by Eagle Newspapers.

Another positive about this location is that it is near the IBL league offices in Portland, Oregon. Locating close to IBL headquarters might be a smart move for our fanchise. To discuss Newberg and other potential locations join OMT today!
