Untitled[edit]

Well, it looks like at least someone does refer to it as the "Glass Palace": Oregon Sports Authority.

I have lived in portlant 30 years, never heard it called the "glass palace" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.213.197.130 (talk) 15:50, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's hard to believe. I used to live in the area. Although most people simply referred to it as the Coliseum, the MC, or something similar, the "Glass Palace" was a common (and appropriate) nickname sometimes used by locals. 64.85.229.248 (talk) 04:24, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I don't mind this article being at "...(Portland)" (In LA, do they call Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum "Memorial Coliseum"?), but there's a good amount of links to fix. See Special:Whatlinkshere/Memorial Coliseum. Jason McHuff 15:05, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

U. S. Dollar[edit]

Under "contruction cost" in the infobox, this article says "$8 million USD". I thought hmm, that seems a little redundant, and so looked on other arena articles to see if I could find a preferred method of denoting U.S. dollars. I found several different ways of doing so: "US$262 million", "$175 million", and even simply "$160 million". (There are probably several other methods I didn't notice.) Is there an accepted, preferred way to do this? —^TheGRAND_Rans ✫Speak to Me!✫ 21:21, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:CURRENCY is the style guide. Looks like US$262 million is the way to go unless the context is clear enough (I think here it is), and no link to the currency. Aboutmovies (talk) 21:26, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It seems as if the simple answer, "$8 million", is correct in this circumstance, so I changed the article accordingly. —^TheGRAND_Rans ✫Speak to Me!✫ 22:40, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
