Vancouver White Caps and their fans are facing uncertainty as the club's future is put into jeopardy. Fans and citizens alike are asking for their Provincial Government to come to a deal to keep the Caps in Vancouver, their home for over 50 years
Help the fight to #SaveTheCaps

[Mayor Ken Sim @KenSimCity]

STATEMENT FROM VANCOUVER MAYOR KEN SIM:

The Whitecaps have been Vancouver’s club since 1974. Many things have changed throughout the years: the players, the logos, the kits, and the stadiums, just to name a few. The one thing that has never changed is Vancouver’s love of this team.

The Whitecaps are one of the top teams in the MLS, they were the runners up in last year’s championship, and they sit in the top ten of league attendance at an average of 24,000+ per game. While we understand that professional sports is a complex business, it would be a mistake for any team to leave a market with such a longstanding history and ready-made fanbase.

The City of Vancouver has done its part to create a path forward for the team’s future here by offering prime space at Hastings Park for the Whitecaps to construct a new stadium and entertainment district.

Now, we face the difficult part.

BC Place is owned and operated by the Provincial Government. In fact, it’s the only stadium owned and operated by a government found anywhere in the MLS. In order for the team to stay in Vancouver, the Whitecaps and Province must sign a bridge deal that will allow BC Place to become viable in the near term while a new stadium can be designed and built.

That's why today, we are calling on the team’s ownership to publicly and clearly articulate what they need to stay here in Vancouver, and we are calling on the Provincial Government to come to the table and make that a reality.

To all Vancouver Whitecaps fans, to the @Southsiders, and to all of the supporter groups, we need you to keep the fight going. We need you to stay strong, and we need you to stay loud.

Losing the Whitecaps is not an option. #SAVETHECAPS

Beautiful day to roast those birds. Time to get loud as we urge the boys in blue toward their first home W of the season

Don't forget to bring any of your gently used soccer equipment for a donation to U-Serve for local youths players. Together we make Chester better.

The Boys in Blue are back at Soob taking on the Chicago Fire—and it’s Kids Day, so be sure to bring the whole crew out to the River End.

Let’s get loud, set the tone early, and let’s let the next generation show us how it’s done.

See you soon! 💙💛
