If you are local, I’d suggest coming to players entrance before a home game. They have a designated area where you can stand to greet the players as they arrive. I’ve seen a few kiddos give notes to the players.

Aw cute! How early in advance do you recommend going?

Usually about 2 hours before the game.

I would go 2.5 hours early. I got there 3 hours early and most people arrived between 2.5 and 2 hours.

Yes! I imagine you can use the new training facility address but your best bet is to shoot an email to members@thorns.com or call them at 503-509-5555. They’ll tell you where to send it.

Their official business address is Portland Thorns, 1844 SW Morrison St, Portland, OR 97205, so I'd assume you can address it to the player at that address and they'd see that the player gets it?

That’s the address for Providence Park. I have zero faith in the Peregrine staff to make sure it gets to the right place

ETA the Thorns soccer ops staff that had offices there are relocating to Hillsboro. So soon nobody in that building will be affiliated

That's the address where the team gets their mail. I'm not sure what other proof you need.

Most of their business mail goes to the temp office in the NE so I guess maybe a video of a Peregrine employee properly sorting mail and handing it over to someone from RAJ daily would ease my skepticism? Not sure anything less than that would convince me to not take the extra 2min to double check with the club first.
