Vision

After purchasing the Vancouver Whitecaps in 2002, Greg Kerfoot had a vision for the future of soccer in British Columbia and in Canada. At the heart of this vision was a new outdoor stadium for Vancouver. A stadium that could house the Whitecaps Men's and Women's teams, as well as play host to international soccer games featuring Canada's national teams, and top level clubs from around the world.

But this would be more than just a soccer stadium. With a capacity of 15,000 seats, which could be expanded to 30,000 seats in the coming years, the proposed venue would provide fans with a close-up experience for amazing outdoor concerts, symphony performances, and a wide range of sporting events like international rugby, tennis, and beach volleyball. It would also provide a home for the many ethnic and community festivals held in Vancouver each year.

The location is also visionary. Right on the waterfront at the heart of the main transit hub (Seabus), the facility would be the most transit friendly stadium in North America with direct access via SkyTrain, SeaBus, West Coast Express and the new RAV line. The location is also ideal for those working and living downtown. The site is within walking distance for the more than 80,000 people that live in the downtown area, 8000 hotel rooms, and over 30,000 parking stalls.

The proposed stadium would offer fans breathtaking views of Burrard Inlet and the North Shore Mountains. The stadium design would also be spectacular, showcasing and promoting our province's best construction techniques and materials including BC wood products. It would also incorporate sustainable, environmentally friendly building methods and management systems.
