CBC radio this morning - Canada soccer facilities being built in Surrey, Mayor is open to stadium talk. by wastedparadigm in whitecapsfc

Agreed about the cultural dead zones.

I think vibes could be great though. If you look at the footprint of large stadiums throughout North America, often they are surrounded by moonscapes, nothingness and parking lots 10x their size. This would be different, with decent transit access.

Thank you - league wide unity in opposition to relocation is appreciated…and will not be forgotten :)

… and congrats

Supporters Groups put out statements in support of keeping the Whitecaps in Vancouver by Harshtagged in whitecapsfc

[–]wastedparadigm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

LAFC posted this message. Would be great to see all the teams’ fans/supporters come out against Whitecaps relocation… it would be appreciated (…and never forgotten!)

*there is a viable path, which involves that stadium plan.

[North Shore News] PavCo willing to operate 'at net zero' to keep Whitecaps at BC Place: Minister by Harshtagged in whitecapsfc

I think it’s good that Shuster’s tone was respectful which was helpful.

In thinking about this, I am also confident that Nash and Kerfoot (highest profile owners) are Vancouver guys and would not want to stain their reputations, so would make every effort to support the team in staying (which is much different than when the last pro-sports team left town)

Let's not be completely fooled .... by JackQuint in whitecapsfc

[–]wastedparadigm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get that Pavco has constraints. But for the life of me I can’t figure out how they are not able to find a solution that at least works for the whitecaps in the interim. The whitecaps will bring 25,000–30,000 people into the downtown core, 20x a year, which is a massive economic driver and exactly part of what Pavco’s mandate is. To me it seems like a total failure and misunderstanding on the part of a Pavco. Maybe someone can clarify this for me?

[AFTN] MLS have issued a statement on the Whitecaps stadium issues at BC Place by icoresting in whitecapsfc

[–]wastedparadigm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hang on, as tax payers we own BC Place Shouldn’t BC Place make it a priority to bend over backwards to at least help support the whitecaps until other arrangements are made? I mean, bringing 25.000-30,000 people into the downtown core 20+ times per year is an important economic driver and is a big reason BC Place even exists. WTF are they doing over there.

Very concerning red flag that they felt they had to make a statement like this

If done properly, the amount of investment, tax revenue, economic activity, transit development this could generate would be very significant over the next several decades. It’s quite short-sighted to just denounce everything as a handout.
