Where exactly is Whitecap Stadium?? Do you mean Swanguard?? That place is a dump and of land where they will never further develop to accomadate a renovation or expansion of that size. A crap load of trees would need to be cut down. Not to mention, it's in Burnaby, located at one of the busiest of intersections in the city on a normal day. It's a terrible stadium right now and will never even be considered if Canada was trying to get a World Cup Bid. Vancouver's only stadium would be BC Place or maybe where the Current Empire Field is. They would have to build a whole new stadium there which won't happen.
Regardless, this entire thread and discussion all has to do with plans that are 10-15 years down the road. A lot can change between now and then.

Yeah, sorry, I'm not the most familiar with what they are doing at BC place, and certainly not with Whitecaps stadium. I just googled whitecaps stadium, so, that about all I know about it, and I think I got the proposal for a new stadium downtown (which isn't happening - at least yet if at all?)
Even with BC place's renos now, by the time the World Cup came to Canada, would probably need renos again anyway. Perhaps it will have made way for a new stadium by that time.
