Stadia

[RS]

Has anyone considered adding the SkyDome to the "Stadiums" list on the website?

After last week, it could be considered a "soccer stadium".

Well if the criteria for soccer stadiums is that one can spend half a million to lay temporary turf in it and have a full size pitch then put BC Place down as well. For that matter add a hell of a whole lot of other stadiums in Canada.

I agee with you.

Besides, I think we'd see high level soccer being played in any one of the three WhitE Elephants well before most of the "stadia" on that list.

[DarnCherry]

True.

With a few tiny stadiums on that list I wonder why Kinsmen Stadium in North Vancouver isn't on it. It's got a whopping 600 seats, sees more than it's fair share of VMSL games each year, and the Whitecaps have played a pre-season game there.

Kinsmen Stadium isn't on the list probably only because Jarrek doesn't know about it.

I think the list that's posted is an older version (eg. Varsity Field now has some (temporary) stands, so its capacity is no longer 0). As it says at the top, Jarrek is hoping to fix it up and add more details about each stadium.

When the list is jiggled, don't forget to add the site now legitimized by being the home of the higest level of professional soccer in Canada;), Coronation Park (capacity 1,500). I really like Coronation, the pitch is good, the location is good, and the closeness to the field is great.

Foote Field entry should be changed to the following:

"Foote Field (grass section) Edmonton 1,000"

Another addition

"Clarke Stadium Edmonton 1,000-2,900"
