    hmmmm maybe there is hope:

    BC Place Stadium

    The new BC Place stadium will be our home when we launch for the 2011 season.

    When the renovations are complete, BC Place will allow our fans to experience soccer the way it was meant to be experienced - in an intimate atmosphere, with seating close to the pitch, and an open-air roof for balmy summer nights.

    Seating capacity for soccer matches will be approximately 20,000.

    BC Place is located at 777 Pacific Blvd., Vancouver.

    For more information on BC Place, and images and updates about the renovations currently taking place there, please visit bcplacestadium.com.

    with the lowered roof, cut off end seats and "lounges" brought in over the football endzones, it looks like BC place might be a good (not great) soccer place



    I did see one unbelievable thing though, they think they'll beat us 3-0....let alone before the half.

    here's the football setup for reference

    They still have a chance. If Saputo told MLS he'd be willing to pay the expansion entry fee they'd put Montreal back as an immediate favourite.

    That would be a huge mistake.


    I'm not sure Vancouver already isn't. I hope this works out.

    So what were Vancouver audiences like in NASL days. Hmm, for that matter, what were Blizzard audiences like?

    It will.

    The die is cast. It's not about Toronto. It's about the sleepers who've loved soccer for years finally thinking it's at a sufficient professional level in north American now to support it. You could put a team in Halifax and they'd probably get 10,000 season ticket holders.

    can't do worse than KC, Columbus, Colorado, FC Dallas, Chivas...!

    while every expansion involves some risk, i still think the worst case scenario for Vancouver is 16000 attendance a game, and that would put them in the middle of the league.

    agreed 100% that the die has been cast, yet that die involves a centralized stadium. With that being said, with the chosen location in kanata, i dont see a city like Ottawa reaching SSH numbers that approach 10,000

    but hey wtf do i know...

    If those guys represent the footy support in Vancouver...well...

    LOL

    I still don't see Ottawa as being a viable MLS city, but hey, I've been wrong before. If I'm wrong on this one, I'll say so, but until then, I will continue to think putting an MLS team in Ottawa is stupid bandwagoneering.

    Vancouver is a city that likes to think it's big...it's amazing how people from Vancouver never fail to point out how laid back they are. Frenetically so. Then they continually point out how much better Vancouver is than Toronto. Lame. Vancouver blows.

    Vancouver, good luck, but seriously...I see this as a joke. Joke fans, joke team and Bob Lenarduzzi's a joke, too, while we're at it.
