vancanman Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 There's just something about taking a train to a match. Driving to a stadium just seems so NFL to me. A stadium downtown is the only way to go. All trains and buses are aimed at downtown. If I want to get to Surrey (if I'm crazy, for example) I have to go downtown first. A stadium in Surrey only makes sense if there is a Surrey team. This team is Vancouver, and that's where the stadium should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrek Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 A lot of Toronto FC fans, including myself, take the GO Train to BMO Field. Absolutely the best experience one could have. It's also great walking amongst turn of the century industrial buildings on the way to the pub or clubhouse, and even passing another holy grail for Canadian Soccer - Lamport Stadium or Stanley Park. Well worth the $7.50 return fare ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surrey doesn't give the same luxury when you're coming from the island. (Not that a large majority of fans are coming from the island, but some will) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
