    Who: Vancouver Whitecaps v. Houston Dynamo
    When: Saturday, March 26 @ 9:00 pm CDT
    Where: BC Place; Vancouver, BC
    Records: Vancouver Whitecaps (1-2-0), 9th in West
    Houston Dynamo (1-1-1), 6th in West
    TV: ROOT Sports Southwest
    Radio: 650 am (online)/1010 am (Spanish)

    This is the fourth regular season game for the Whitecaps and Dynamo in 2016. Houston defeated Vancouver at home last year, 2-0, in August and then lost up in Canada, 3-0, in the 2015 season finale. The Dynamo have never won at Vancouver losing all 4 previous games. These two teams will meet again in Vancouver in May and then here in Houston in July.

    Vancouver finally got a win on March 19 at Seattle after starting off the season with 2 losses against Montreal and Kansas City. After the Dynamo game, the Whitecaps stay at home to host the Galaxy on April 2.

    The Dynamo next get a bye week and then return home to host Seattle on April 10. That game is followed by a home game against the Galaxy on April 15.

    Anyone ever been to an away game here?
    Vancouver seems like a very scenic and beautiful place to visit.
    BC Place seems really nice as well (not SS specific however).
    I am considering maybe a last minute away trip but the fact that it's almost 5 hours away and an international flight so have to come back through customs kind of deters me from just going for the weekend.

    I have before they moved to BC Stadium. Sat right in front and had fun "discussions" with the locals. Great place to visit in the summer - not sure it's warm enough to enjoy at the moment

    I wonder if Maidana, and Barnes will be back for Vancouver. Traditionally a tough fixture for the Dynamo, and it will sting to lose our three best for that one.

    If Barnes was healthy he would probably play for Jamaica. Although, I guess, they would want to be sure of him before they called him up.

    I think there is a good chance for Maidana to be back.

    Yeah, I don't expect Barnes, catch 22, either he's healthy and gone or he's injured and not on the plane anywhere.

    Rico for the armband please Coach Coyle.

    Another road test for our new to each other team.

    I would rather have MLS avoid these FIFA mandatory dates, but this will occur in time.

    DALE DYNAMO!!!

    We went a few years back before they had reconditioned BC Place and were using a temporary stadium.

    To my mind, Vancouver is the most beautiful city in North America, if you like Indian food, Vij is the best place to try it outside of London. A trip to Victoria is a great day trip.

    Vancouver is a preclearance station for Customs and Immigration, US CBP are stationed in Vancouver at the airport and the clearance is done prior to boarding the plane. When you land in the US there are no further inspections (unless of course they determined that you are a fugitive and then you'll have a courtesy meet on arrival).

    I'd strongly urge anyone who has an opportunity to see Vancouver (and the exchange rate is very favorable right now).

    Vancouver is year round mild weather. This would actually be the start of the dryer period of the year there. Summer would be best, little warmer, even lower rain chances. Winter rains or snows 2/3 of the days, right now about half, wait til summer 1/5.

    I didn't realize it was pre-clearance. That in itself is a reason to go. Thanks Nigel!

    You're sooooo English. Victoria, gardens, curry, etc. What do you got against French Canada?

    Btw, I've been so busy at work that I fcked up. Mexico plays Canada in WCQ on Friday and Dynamo plays Vancouver on Saturday. Would've been a great double header. FCK!!!

    Gonna go with a draw simply because VAN are missing a lot of players.

    That and maybe our defense will have improved in a week....


    ...awwww who am I kidding?


    3-3 draw

    With as many players out in Vancouver's starting lineup and in particular there defense, I can't see how he doesn't score again.
