BC Place Stadium

The new BC Place stadium will be our home starting in summer 2011, as soon as all renovations and installation of the retractable roof are complete. 

With the completed renovations, BC Place will allow our fans to experience soccer the way it was meant to be experienced - in an intimate atmosphere, with seating close to the pitch, and an open-air roof for balmy summer nights. 

Seating capacity for soccer matches will be approximately 20,000.

BC Place is located at 777 Pacific Blvd., Vancouver.

Empire Field

BC Place Stadium will be closed from the spring of 2010 until the summer of 2011, in order to permit the construction of its new retractable roof.

While these final renovations to BC Place are being completed, Vancouver MLS 2011 will play the first few home matches of their inaugural 2011 season at a specially-erected temporary stadium located at Empire Field at the PNE, the former site of Empire Stadium. 

For soccer matches, the temporary stadium will feature a soccer-specific configuration with seating capacity of approximately 20,000, similar to the seating capacity for soccer matches at the new BC Place. 

The temporary stadium will also be home to the BC Lions, for their 2010 season. The football configuration of the stadium provides a seating capacity of approximately 27,500.

Waterfront Stadium

The Whitecaps are continuing to pursue the construction of the proposed soccer-specific Whitecaps Waterfront Stadium on downtown Vancouver’s central waterfront and rail lands. 

The Whitecaps have been working with the City of Vancouver and the Port Metro Vancouver to finalize a stadium footprint.

The vision for the stadium has remained constant over the last six years – a community amenity that is:

• Accessible
• Socially, environmentally and economically sustainable
• Adjacent to the main transportation hub
• A community gathering place
• A home for soccer, rugby, concerts, etc.
