A bit of Canadian news to kickoff a rather ugly looking Friday here in Dallas (overcast and muggy for those who care). The news from up north tell us that the temporary venue for the Vancouver Whitecaps next year is under construction and coming along very nicely. The facility will open in June with a…[continue reading]

One of two things could happen next year when the Vancouver MLS team joins in the fun (along side Portland of course).

For those who love tradition you can rest a little easier tonight.

CTV is reporting that Whitecaps President Bob Lenarduzzi says he can’t guarantee that the soccer club will keep the Whitecaps name…[continue reading]

Today is the day. Finally, after months of speculating over expansion sites we will finally know one of the two winners. The Pacific Northwest just got another boost with Vancouver, as they are expected to be announced as the 17th MLS club today at noon CT. Vancouver has beat out remaining finalists Portland, St. Louis…[continue reading]

I saw this post over the weekend and figured it wouldn’t change at all (plus I was a bit too busy this weekend to get around to talking about it). According to the Globe and Mail up north, barring any unusal last-minute snag, Vancouver will be awarded a MLS club sometime within the next couple…[continue reading]

Trying not to be outdone by their rivals to the south, the supporters of the USL-1 Vancouver Whitecaps have issued a press release this morning in regards to a promotion they are going to be putting on at an upcoming game.
