I think the Whitecaps are capable of drawing 30,000 to 40,000 for some games. They will have to open up teh Upper Bowl.

Here's a question.

Bob Lenarduzzi vowed to make the Whitecaps the # 2 team in Vancouver after the Canucks.

Will the Caps outdraw the BC Lions?

It's no secret that david Braley has lost a lot of money on the BC Lions. Granted attendance and revenue has improved since Wally Buono arrived...

but things can easily head south in a hurry. And I'm not sure Braley is all that happy about having the Whitecaps become a force in BC Place.

I believe the Whitecaps will draw away a lot of children and younger fans that currently go to Lions games. It may not be a massive number, but remember that each kid brings two parents...

so can the Whitecaps knock off the BC Lions? I say yes, but it'll take a lot of hard effort
