    The Whitecaps Waterfont Stadium will be privately funded – pure and simple. The GNC needs to stick to the facts instead of resorting to rampant ill informed speculation. FUD may have helped Microsoft but the reality is that most of Vancouver supports the building of the stadium at the proposed location, along with the past 2 Vancouver mayors, Larry Campbell and Philip Owen and numerous others.
