Toronto FC's young striker Ibee Ibrahim is looking forward to a busy winter with the United States Under-20 national team.

Ian Walker, Vancouver Sun

Published: Thursday, November 06, 2008
VANCOUVER - It has history on its side. Ownership is solid. And its club structure stands alone among its rivals in terms of developing players and growing the game.
That said, the one big knock against the Vancouver Whitecaps' bid to bring Major League Soccer to the city has been the lack of a sport-specific stadium. It was a valid critique - the key word being was.
On Thursday, the Whitecaps and BC Pavilion Corporation made public a snapshot of how BC Place Stadium - with its proposed new retractable roof - might be configured in order to best accommodate soccer events.

Does that mean they will remove or cover the second tier of that oversized BC Place? They would still be sharing with the Lions which means they would be facing the same player problem we're in with turf.

The picture looks good but the one thing I wonder about is, since they are sharing with the BC Lions, will there be football lines on the turf?

Synthetic FIFA approved pitch...
So Vancouver won't get any of the players bypassing Toronto because of the field turf.
