I wouldn't, but just because I like the idea of an evening out in Vancouver, watching a match w/ the North Shore Mountains in the background, and heading to Steamworks after to pint the night away.

Again- a matter of personal opinion. I'll take a stadium and team wherever they'll put it.

Dial- despite you're well written response, you are and will always be a lovable crack head to me.

Personally, I see the BC Place site as a prime opportunity to flatten the whole goddamn thing. From there, a Private / public venture in conjunction w/ the Lions, UBC, and City of Vancouver to build a 30,000 seat football only facility that will be home to the Lions and future NCAA Div 1 or 2 team (as UBC is very close to getting NCAA status), combined w/ affordable housing in the area under a similar "housing solution" plan Whistler has established w/ it's developers, and affordable commercial opportunities for small businesses working through the BDC.

Right now, it is a big concrete waste of resources...it can be so much better, and being that it is owned by our Province, they can do so much more CREATIVELY with that land to not only continue / revive community spirit w/ Professional & University football, but with offering affordable housing and business opportunities. The Lions and UBC both have the interest and resources to pay in their share.
