I can't remember the exact figure, but I thought I'd read that there was something like 10-15k parking spots within a 5 minute walk from the proposed waterfront stadium location, and will be next door to the transit hub (Seabus, Skytrain, Canadline, Westcoast express) |
My vote was for downtown. But as a fan if the choice was up to me, or YOU why wouldn't you choose Surrey? Its 20 mins drive. Unless of course you are thinking of the greater good... but fack off I'm selfish. Do I want a MLS team, YES, do I support it 100% even if I cannot goto games because they are downtown? YES, Would I prefer it to be somewhere better for me? YES, Who wouldn't!
1. Transit? Skytrain runs in Surrey champ, and your closer to most of your demographic. The reports indicated that only 12% of season ticket holders were actually living in "Vancouver".
2. What JV? The lions train in surrey, it was a proposed training facility not a full service gig, the lions need 40k seats+... bunch of smelling jock straps going to ruin the atmosphere?
3. Parking? Qty is great.. Price is not.
Please don't misunderstand, the waterfront Idea and location is the best thing to ever be proposed here in decades IMO....
