With a capacity of nearly 20,000, the Moda Center is the city’s largest music venue, but it’s primarily used as an indoor sports arena (it’s home to the Portland Trail Blazers). Only really big-name artists play the Moda—in 2016 that meant legends like Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks—and this is probably the only venue in town that’s capable of adding pyrotechnics to a concert. If you want to nibble on a soft pretzel while watching Def Leppard in a humungo stadium, this is the place for you. CIARA DOLAN
