STADIUM USER GROUPS UNITE TO SHOW SUPPORT AND ASK COUNCIL TO MAKE PROJECT A PRIORITY
Representatives from potential user groups of the Whitecaps Waterfront Stadium came together on Thursday to encourage City Council to move the project forward so it can be completed as soon as possible. If approved, the current timeline put forth by Vancouver City Staff has the proposed 15,000-seat multi-use venue not breaking ground until early 2009.
“We are overwhelmed with the support we have received from a large variety of user groups,” said Bob Lenarduzzi, Whitecaps Director of Soccer Operations. “Since we announced our vision of a waterfront stadium for Vancouver a number of potential user groups have come forward to express the need for a stadium of this type in order to bring the best cultural, community, concerts and sporting events to our city.”
