Vancouver Fan Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Is anyone interested in getting a Voyageurs section for this game?If so we will have to choose a section.The cheapest seats are $15 and are bleachers in the endzones.Not sure if they will be GA but may be easier to get Voyageurs together. The next cheapest are the east bleachers and these are reserved seating.This year the Whitecaps have the east bleachers on top of the track near the sidelines.There is a tent covering the middle section of these bleachers which could help with acoustics.I'm not sure if the tent and bleacher location will be kept the same for this international match.The problem with these seats is the sun is in your eyes as it sets.Might not be so bad on August 18th.This is the side of the field that the tv cameras point toward.(For those of you with FSWC checkout the Whitecaps v Calgary on July 30th 8pm PST) The best and most expensive is the west grandstand.It provides better acoustics because of the roof but it is a bit further from the field because of the track.These seats start at $34. I'll try and get more info on if GA will be available.This seems to be the best way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancouver Fan Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Does not look like general admission seating will be available at Swangard. I have asked for a section for Voyageurs and I expect to hear back soon.I'll let everyone know if this can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
