Thank you google:

[Side note: What a wonderful thing the internet is, almost any purely factual question can be answered by the simple inquiry "hmmm, I wonder if I can find it on google?]

So if their stadium held 20k and they got 19k a game, doesn't that seem like a good loyal fanbase?

On a side note, putting a team in Portland also could develop a rivalry with Seattle if you put them in the NFC West. To me it just makes the most sense, even though it probably would not happen.
