A major hurdle to turn the stadium into a reality has been cleared:

A good Wikipedia article about the soccer stadium being constructed in Toronto:

Does Vancouver now need one too to rival Toronto?

With their W-League championship win tonight, I wonder if another hurdle has been cleared for this new stadium for the Whitecaps.

With both the Whitecaps FC and Women winning their championships this season, maybe it's time to reward them with this new stadium.

According to:
http://www.whitecapsfc.com/news/?id=4771

These five issues need to be resolved by June 2007:

The five key requirements the Whitecaps are working with the City, public and stakeholders to resolve are the following:
? Provision of an adequate street network
? Resolution of the risks and liability associated with dangerous goods in the rail lands
? Reconfiguration of the stadium structure to ensure a better fit with Gastown
? Resolution of impacts on the liveability of residential areas south of the rail lands
? Resolution of impacts on future Port Lands development

The MLS commissioner has made it clear to the Whitecaps that:

No New Stadium = No MLS Team

And unlike the Sounders with their Qwest Field, Bob Lenarduzzi has made it clear that BC Place is not an option for the Whitecaps.
祝加拿大加式足球聯賽不列颠哥伦比亚卑詩雄獅隊今年贏格雷杯冠軍。此外祝溫哥華加人隊贏總統獎座·卡雲斯·甘保杯·史丹利盃。還每年祝溫哥華白頭浪隊贏美國足球大联盟杯。不要忘記每年祝溫哥華巨人贏西部冰球聯盟冠軍。
改建後的卑詩體育館於二十十一年九月三十日重新對外開放,首場體育活動為同日舉行的加拿大足球聯賽賽事,由主場的卑詩雄獅隊以三十三比二十四擊敗愛民頓愛斯基摩人隊。
祝你龍年行大運。
恭喜西雅图海鹰直到第四十八屆超級盃最終四十三比八大勝曾拿下兩次超級盃冠軍的丹佛野馬拿下隊史第一個超級盃冠軍。

I had heard that Greg Kerfoot purchased a parcel of land for $ 65 million. So that deal is now off and they're negotating with the Port Authority for another tract of land?

so the original deal is off? seemingly they're back at square one

So if someone accidentally kicks the ball over the north wall, does he have to go get it back? :lol:

They may have to board a cruise ship or seabus as that's what it will likely land on. :wink:

The only real way for THAT particular plan to happen, is if he extends the skytrain line and builds his own station.
