Bus trips down the I-5 to Seattle and Portland have been a tradition for Vancouver Whitecaps fans for years. But it’s a tradition that’s in danger of coming to a screeching halt if the political climate in the U.S. does not change.
In the wake of the travel ban announced by President Donald Trump, the Vancouver Southsiders supporter’s group announced this week that they are will not organize travel to away matches this season. Known as the #CapsOnTour, the organized bus trips facilitate a raucous atmosphere at away matches. The biggest crowds usually put in an appearance at Cascadia Cup matches in Seattle and Portland.
