The carpeted walkways have it (it's new, but that same iconic design)

I saw some up on that upper level near the top of the stadium seating.

A small sliver of it is on my table as a coaster. Love that quirky design, blue green color.

Such a notable carpet it even has its own wiki article! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland_International_Airport_carpet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland_International_Airport...

  Sorry, but that's some ugly carpet. Doesn't mesh with the absolutely gorgeous wood design.

  One of the host hotels for Dragon Con in Atlanta is the Marriott Marquis, which until several years ago had a very iconic carpet that has been since been replaced with something boring. Many people who spent many hours staring at the old carpet while in line for panels missed it very much and founded the Cult of the Carpet[0]. It has "priests" that wear robes with the pattern, you can buy bags and t-shirts with the pattern, etc. My favorite is the guy who painted his storm trooper armor with the pattern.

    If you'd like to join the "Cult of Marriott Carpet", here's a handy link with tilable patterns (1, 4 (2x2), 9 (3x3), 16 (4x4), 25 (5x5), 36 (6x6) premade), reference photos, and fabric sample tests of the pattern on 4 fabrics for costumes (Cotton Poplin, Basic Cotton, Silk Crepe de Chine, Organic Cotton Sateen)
