Portland Steelheads Stumptown Throwdown Tournament

On Saturday, June 25th, the Portland Steelheads AFC will be hosting the Stumptown Throwdown, a tournament that will feature the Steelheads, Seattle Grizzlies, and Golden Gate Roos in a contest for West Coast supremacy. This is the first time in two years that Portland will be defending their home field against visiting clubs.

Following the awards presentation, the festivities will continue at The Buffalo Gap starting at 7:00pm, where the visiting teams will be introduced to Portland’s many microbrews. The schedule for the day is (subject to change):

10:00 – Teams and vendors arrive at Northgate Park
