hamiltonfan Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Will the Caps play any games at Empire field? The stadium looks close to complete, and brotha does it look like a nice ground for a club. The pics are to large to post directly on here but check them out @ http://www.bclions.com/photo_gallery/gallery/id/10977 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyCanuck Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 yes, initially it was announced that they would likely only play a handful of games there prior to BC place being ready for them, but someone said recently that BC place will not be ready, and likely the Caps will play most, if not all, of their games there next spring/summer.

TheKottonmouthed1555362307 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Yeah, I'm in Langley and I've checked it out once or twice in person to watch the progress, I'm quite excited to see both the Lions and Caps play at Empire, being only 22 I never got to see any games there before and know it as more of the hole in the ground beside the wooden coaster.

Trillium Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Who will use the field after ... BC place gets renewed ? I like the way it looks.. not sure how far to the field from top rows... the angle seems long... rather then a steep design, but it sure looks good for a temp home.. would make a great place for a second club in Van area... playing in Division 2, which i still think is where we will see a huge groundswell of support for futbol, when we have classicos .. two teams from one city playing each other in the Voyageurs Cup.

Watchmen Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 After BC Place is complete, it will be torn down. It doesn't meet the building codes for a permanent structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancouversoccerman Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 There's a good chance the fieldturf will replace the two amateur fields that were there before "Temp-ire Stadium". I'm hoping they'll keep or at least build a small grandstand with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regs Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Just another grass facility taken away and to never return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
