“The Portland Pickles have a responsibility in the sports industry to take leaps and set precedent of innovative partnerships,” said Ross Campbell, VP of Business Development for the Pickles. “As we saw in 2019, becoming the first team to ever partner with a CBD company, and quickly teams all the way up to the Major League level across sports follow suit. We are very proud to provide an alternative option at our games with Cycling Frog Products for our incredible fans and the city of Portland!”

The sale of THC products is legal in Oregon and sales must adhere to regulations for service from a business, which The Portland Pickles have consulted with OLCC and Portland Parks and Rec, who owns Walker Stadium, according to a statement from The Pickles.

Cycling Frog products will be available at The Jack Daniels Party Deck Bar (behind home plate)  and Dillon’s Hideaway Bar (located in center field) as well as a third standalone point of sale inside the gates upon entrance.

Fans must be 21+ to purchase.
