leftcoastkicks Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Agreed. BTW, it would be yet another setback if Whitecaps FC were to be called "VFC". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macksam Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 No biggie. A different municipality will step in and do the honours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Things haven't gone well? A half-billion on BC Place and a 30,000 seat temporary stadium with private boxes? There isn't a city in the country spending coin like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Things haven't gone well? A half-billion on BC Place and a 30,000 seat temporary stadium with private boxes? There isn't a city in the country spending coin like that. It's so deeply offensive on so many levels, it really can't talked about. It's just too depressing.

Danny Boy Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 temporary This is the key point... the Whitecaps are only secondary to the weight of the BC Lions as well IMO. If you take the Waterfront and now the Delta situation the Whitecaps don't really have anything to call their own. It's not from a lack of effort, it just seems that there's one patchwork solution after another. That being said I agree that BC Place will be a decent patch...

TFCRegina Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Right now they're second to the Lions, but Gridiron has basically peaked in Canada, there's no more growth to be found. Soccer is an untapped market which will exceed that of gridiron...at least of the Canadian type... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I look forward to the day when the MLS Whitecaps outdraw the BC Lions at BC Place - that will be so good and I don't think it will take too long either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulsar Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 I agree. Once momentum is in high gear, i am sure the 'Caps will draw more spectators. I have never been a fan of BC Place but am eager to see how the renos will suit the viewers and what kind of atmosphere can be created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccer is an untapped market which will exceed that of gridiron...at least of the Canadian type... Even in Saskatchewan with their infamous Riders Nation?

Richard Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 The 'Caps are maintaining a low peofile right now. In the words of Bob Lenarduzzi, what's the point in trying to compete with the Winter Olympics! Once the Games are over there will be a blitz for the coming USSF 2 season.
