People love the glass features and whatever else about it and dont actually see that the building is an eyesore that needs to get torn down.
The Memorial Coliseum site isn't enough space for a MLB stadium, the PPS site is a much better location. Though an MLB team will never happen in Portland because it doesn't have a big enough market, currently the Marlins rely on Portland to beef their numbers to justify being in Seattle.

Personally I would like to see a NHL team in Portland to go with the Blazers and Timbers.
