Welcome to MLS Vancouver! Looking forward to having you join us and travel up to your beautiful city. I just hope they call the team the Whitecaps. :)

Kerfoot should just go ahead and announce that the name will be Whitecaps at the official announcement of the team. Because if they let the fans have a say, there's no way it will be anything else.

I'm 100% sure we're going to stay the Whitecaps...you wouldn't imagine the outcry there'd be here if they weren't.
We're looking forward to 2011! I've had the pleasure of travelling to MLS games in four cities, and there's great supporters throughout the league. In the meantime, we'll just be content knocking TFC out of the Voyageurs Cup :D.

Yeah, the next thing will be rejigging the logo...that's been in the works.
It will be Whitecaps of course. Now let's keep our fingers crossed for Portland, and before you know it...those 3 teams will share the cost of bringing in the Chelsea's and Man U's of the world.

When the time comes, we'll give you all the great neighbouring pubs and eateries. The nice part about BC Place...is it's close to everything downtown. When (not if) the Waterfront stadium is done (2016ish) it'll be a whole new level of excellence.
My goal is to make a league road trip to all the fab stadiums around the circuit.
