VANCOUVER, BC – Over the next eight days, over 100,000 spectators are expected to walk through the doors at BC Place. All to watch the beautiful game.
Let that sink in for a second.
On Friday night, the Canadian men’s soccer team is expected to draw the largest crowd at a Canadian national team event (of any sport) on home soil in the history of our country when they host Mexico in a FIFA World Cup qualifier at BC Place.
The current record? 54,027.
That was set during last year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup.
