I've never been there, but if the sight lines are good enough for MLS they should be good enough for FCS.

Providence Park has a capacity of 25K, having high enough attendance for people to experience bad sight lines would be a good problem for PSU.

There were. The Timbers have gone to great lengths to reduce them, however. There still are some but not as many.
