I was wondering the same thing. I kept seeing PDX and got confused. "Phoenix? When did they join the party!?" :lol:

I noticed that on here before and it was really starting aggravate me. I finally looked it up and it's the airport code. I know there are two Portlands but man, it irks me, I suppose people are just used to writing PDX though. I never saw it hardly until Real GM.

It's why Magic fans are always referring to themselves as MCO and Celtics as BOS. None of that crap makes any sense.

I get BOS for Boston. What does MCO stand for?

The airport code MCO stands for the airport's former name, McCoy Air Force Base

Thanks Wikipedia!
