Jag kom, jag såg, erövrade jag.
is 7 preseason games a lot?
Maybe the NFL and NBA lockouts have just altered my perspective, but that seems like quite a few.

From what I recall that is pretty standard.
Bordering on more than usual, even. Same number as last year, though.

NFL only has 4
The NBA actually plays 8 pre-season games. Last year the Timbers did play a couple of lower division teams and had 1 game “sandstormed” out.

Yeah, the 2 game Blazers post-lockout preseason may have just messed with my head
Can’t wait for the season to start though

I'm a bit miffed... The Thursday match in the preseason tourney is on one of my indoor nights
I’m seriously debating on which is more important…
Blazers win!
Hmm
If it was a season game I would say the Timbers but it is pre-season…..

The AIK game is the only can't miss event
Who knows what lineup is going to show against the other two.

Also consider
that with 3 games in 7 days, the starting 11 will not be trotted out in each game
