MLS Expansion - Will Vancouver ever let Whitecaps owner build a stadium?
The Vancouver Whitecaps are yet another soccer team having troubles getting their stadium built,
however their issues are very different from those of most teams as the organization is not looking
for public money to fund the project. Instead the objection centers on the use of waterfront
land.
Whitecaps FC owner Greg Kerfoot is ready to front the full cost of the $90m, waterfront stadium,
however those opposed to the idea feel the location will deprive the public from access to the
water as well as negatively alter the historical area.
