I would be too, but I am curious what exactly is the capacity of York Lions Stadium these days and does that include those seats that are up a few levels that I have never seen or noticed being used for United?

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) The main block of seats that they sell tickets for is around 3000 or so. By the time you add the supporters section and the small numbers of seats on the far side I doubt it's as high as 3500 at the moment unless they allow a lot of people to stand behind the goal and on the concourse.

Metro Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 FWIW, Wiki states the capacity as 4,000, though it is not clear what their source is. Could also be dated from the Pan Am Games in 2015. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/York_Lions_Stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie_the_parrot Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 There's a second higher tier of bleacher seating that doesn't currently get used for CanPL games that explains the higher number listed on wikipedia: nfitz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cblake Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Cheapest ticket for the VCup match vs. Vancouver is $25 and that is for the GA bleacher or in my case standing at the top of the sections on the concourse, a mere 13 rows from the pitch. I remember back in 2019 when they way over priced seats and then finally reduced them in time for the VCup match Montreal and drew a crowd of over 5K. Think those tickets were like $15 when they had the much bigger supporter section in the north end with all the food trucks and also the seats on the east side of the pitch that are long gone. York has really missed their mark if not many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need a break you can always go sit in your seat at half time, but otherwise it's a better view from the concourse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep , York Lions Stadium has 13 rows of seating in the stands, totaling 3,012 seats, plus an 80 accessible spots in row W14. That gives you 3,092 tickets available each match for sale on ticketmaster plus what amount of GA Supporter tickets they sell. Grabbing a seat for the VCup double header last week was not a problem, heck the Halifax and Ottawa sections were empty for the second game as those fan bases did not stick around for the York- Vancouver FC match. It was night they let you leave between matches and come back in, went and grabbed a beer and burger in the York Lanes on campus, about a 5 min walk from the stadium.

I really enjoyed that game (which York should of won btw). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not see that being an issue at all with the Whitecaps , lots of ticket left, this match was not priced to sell, cheapest ticket is about double what it was vs. MTL.

As this is to all qualify for the 2024 Champions League why the VCup had to be finished in June is beyond me. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I would surmise that the clubs wanted it this way. At least I sure hope that's the case. With the league still in the fledgling stage, I think deferring to the CPL clubs in terms of what best fits for them makes sense. With a league that ultimately ends with a 'Cup Final' there can't be a Voyageurs Cup to end the year. That would simply be confusing for too many people. Which is a shame, because there would be no better way to end the Canadian soccer season than with the Voyageurs Cup! Ivan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would set up semifinals of Montréal at home to Ottawa and Pacific getting a home game against the Whitecaps. Both of those would be pretty well hyped and should get a decent amount of traveling away fans. Bison44 and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Hmmm, I dont know a Rovers vs York would be a tasty semi-final treat. And a Rovers/Montreal final?? Feel good story for the whole country, get all this CSA squabbling bad taste out of our mouths eh??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Who is the biggest underdog in this round? Is it York against Whitecaps or is it Rovers against Pacific? I'm going to go with Rovers being the bigger underdog. I think/kinda hope the gap between CPL and L1C is bigger than the gap between CPL and MLS, and even if it's the same, York has home field (if not crowd) advantage.

Shway Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Next round is massive. But I still think Forge could win this whole thing. (I hope they do) It seems like they are the only team with continuity which goes a long way in knockout tournaments. They have a few more games to gel, and be ready for that matchup in the dump.

They lost 3-0 to Montreal last year in the quarters. I know this isn't the same Montreal team but they seem to have turned a corner now.

I'm glad you are pulling for our boys in orange but it would take an upset and most likely two of massive proportions for Forge to win it, besides playing Montreal on the road the MLS teams budget dwarf CPL and the gap in quality usually prevails! I agree with your point about the continuity and that surely helps, we can only hope! Edited May 10, 2023 by gator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aird25 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Montreal and Vancouver are both playing pretty well lately. It'll be tough for any of the lower budget teams to knock them off. Kingston and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
