Keegan Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I think playing Mexico on turf is a good call, it turns into more of an athletic game and takes a little off their technical advantage. As Will said before the match the Hondurans are a bit more athletic than the Mexicans. Hopefully we can have a nice cold night for them in March, that combined with the turf should see us pick up a point at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmen Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 As a Vancouver resident, I'd love it if the team came back here, but I'm also fine with it being played in Edmonton or Ottawa (turf + much colder). Just don't wait 11 years to bring the team back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umpiredice Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Oh, this is brilliant news! I am so in for this one! Hope it's in the evening, I probably have to umpire UBC vs. Lewis Clark State in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steedman Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Canadians can NOT hesitate to buy tickets for this game. The mexicanos are going to snatch these up and that crowd is going to be buzzing, not like that tame Hondura's crowd. Now I just need to book the time off of work and await ticket sales.

canadianfoot Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 Floro mentioned it in tbe post game press cconference actually my "source" was the Announcer at BC Place. He blured it out on the PA System to 20 000 ppl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcalibre Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 It would be neat and tidy if the "big 3" (TO, Mtrl, Van) would all get one of the games in this round. But fuck it, BMO's had a monopoly for so long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJsens1 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Obviously because I live in Ottawa that would be great, but playing it in Ottawa with the turf helps too and it will be colder than Vancouver. Good, new stadium. Stealing a point from there here would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1zzurri Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Good Friday. Wouldn't even have to book a day off work. Just saying. Its a long weekend? Oh my. I have to find this in my budget somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 If they could market to those who bought to get them to repeat, that would go a long way to getting a Canadian majority. And do it before the open up to the rest. Make all Mex supporters go to certain sections, and control how they sell. There were 40,000 Mexicans at the GC a couple years ago in Seattle, but soft support, families, not many were real footie fans even. But still, that is a base that could mean a big crowd at BC Place. If Floro wants to repeat it is for the support, no doubt, so we have to make it work right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolando Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I can see this selling out. And by sell out I mean the whole friggin stadium. We have every reason to be concerned about massive away support but it willbe hard to get tens of thousands of Canadians, never mind Vancouverites, to buy up most of the best seats this far in advance.

Lets not get carried away. Yesterday was fantastic, but it is a big step from 20 thousand to 55. I also think this game sold well due to the Whitecaps playoff atmosphere and the soccer buzz around the city. Those will have faded by March and all the media will be talking about then is a Canucks playoff push or failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king1010 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I think a lower bowl sellout should be the goal against mexico. 27,500. (Pro canadian of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am talking about the fact a long weekend close to Seattle maximizes the number of Mexican fans in the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finchster Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I'd rather this game be held in Edmonton where the weather will play a role. We have a pretty good home record against Mexico in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
