Just so much fun! They have theme nights so everyone can dress up and get extra silly, they have a bar with cheap drinks that almost makes it feel like a house party and even if you don't know anything about the sport, you can ask literally anyone around you and they're happy to tell you how it works. The half time events are ridiculous and fun. They also have an entire Junior's program complete with a full season of home team bouts which is SUCH a great thing to do for families with kids (but also I find it fun to watch them too because it's incredible what excellent skaters they are!)Other Notes:You can get a small discount for buying a group of tickets (automatically kicks in at 10 tickets I think).Oaks Park now charges for parking but it's always been $5 or under when I've been there.They recently got a bunch of upgrades in the Hanger so the lighting and displays are all really next level. And if you're in the PDX area, they have kids camps during the summer and often when kids have vacation days/weeks off school.The national travel team (Wheels of Justice) are consistently the #1 team in THE WORLD! So it really is a special thing to get to see any of the teams from this league play.*Uploaded photos are from the official RCR photographers for those games, used with permission

Hands down, this is the most Portland thing to do, and SO fun. You don't have to have ever seen a roller derby match in your life - they explain the rules every time, and it is SO exciting, even if you aren't always sure what is happening in terms of points. It will be an unforgettable experience and don't be surprised when you find yourself cheering. I've been three times and loved it every time. It's a great family activity as well - so many people bring their kids and, afterward, the kids are thrilled to go down to the side of the rink and get their hands slapped by the skaters.

Went to my first roller derby to see the Rose City High Rollers. I was not disappointed. They have won 4 times as World World Champions. The place was constant activity and excitement. One of the gals took time to explain the game to us so we could understand what was going on. The hanger offers food/drinks, but it's cash only. Parking is free. Get there early for a good seat. Loved it. Get tickets online.

my son had worked in the US and told us to give the roller derby a go, on that night The Portland Trail Blazers were in action as well, but we chose the Rollers. it has to be said I will never forget it. My Wife and i took a taxi to the rink but it is in a hangar nearby. We paid in and got some drinks and settled down for the action. it was a tournament day with 8 teams I think matching up. There are basic rules available for the first timers but even with that we struggled to understand what on earth was going on. points clocked up on the scoreboard seemingly at Random but the crowd, the closeness to the action, the friendly camaraderie between teams and everywhere in the venue made it an exiting place to be and see. it wont be for everyone but we loved it. The Rollers are portrayed as tough competitive and take no prisoners, but when you visit they are welcoming, polite, helpful, extremely hard working and deserve everything they work hard to achieve. My lasting memory is of an overwhelming feeling everyone was having fun. Even in defeat the crowd, bar staff, ticket sellers, cleaning staff, rollers and merchandise sellers all had smiles a mile wide. We wish you all the best from England and long may you continue
