Whoever is bringing in the MLS if it is not kerfoot (Aqullini's/ Beedie & Gaglardi/ whoever) is going to have a tough time selling something other than the Caps to Vancouverites and Whitecaps fans especially. People still remember or have memories of loved ones talking about the good ol NASL days, the "Village" of Vancouver etc...

If the MLS comes to town it HAS to be the Whitecaps for me.

Dome is too big. Seattle Sounder FC will have a tough time selling all those seats at Qwest once the newness wears off, unless they are instantly successful.

We need a 20-30k all seater with a south terrace/beer garden...we need grass not turf, we need the BC Lions to stay the fcuk away! we need it and we needed it yesterday.

it would sell out every Saturday, even if it was just the USL D1 Whitecaps and not the MLS, if it is built downtown.

If the Caps gravvy train the BC Place roof thingy untill their stadium is built that would be cool, except the left winging bleeding hearts and NIMBY's would scream why do we need 3 big sporting facilities in Vancouver!? (BC Place, GM Place, Whitecaps Waterfornt Stadium)

I for one could see kerfoot behnd this whole roof thing, you never know...
