Vancouver Whitecaps FC History
The Vancouver Whitecaps may have only joined MLS in 2011 (alongside the Portland Timbers), but the team has a long history in the Pacific Northwest. The Whitecaps first launched in 1974 as a member of the now-defunct North American Soccer League and moved to the Canadian Soccer League in 1986 as the 86ers. The team would remain as the 86ers until 2000 when the Whitecaps name resurfaced as part of the A-League, which would later become the United Soccer League (USL).
Finally, on March 18, 2009, the Whitecaps were introduced as the newest franchise in MLS, where they would keep the Whitecaps name as part of the United States' top division. The club qualified for their first playoff run in 2012, becoming the first Canadian MLS franchise to do so. Meanwhile, the Whitecaps have claimed the Voyageurs Cup at the annual interleague Canadian Championship in 2015, 2022, and 2013 and count 2013 MLS Golden Boot winner Camilo Sanvezzo among their alumni.

I really didn't enjoy the event. the concession was over crowed and not set up to deal with the crowd size. I mean come on one beer stand, and one ATM for the whole stadium? To make matter's worse there was a priority line for BMO customers. I think we all paid the same amount for a ticket. The actual seats are brutal, cloth back seats for 40 bucks come on. The guy behind me figured it was his privilege to have his knees in my back all night, and when i tried to adjust my position he gave me lip because his knees were in my back. Beautiful setting but the actual stadium certainly not suited for any professional sport.
Great game. The interleague Canadian Championship series is makes the Whitecaps/TFC matches worth something and, therefore, much more interesting than simple friendly matches. In addition, the soccer is high quality and entertaining.
I moved here about a little over a year ago from Toronto and this was the first live soccer match I've ever seen. The crowd was amazing and I had a great time. I even went by myself which admittedly, I thought would feel weird but everyone there made you feel at home. (Mind you, I wasn't going to go shouting I was from Toronto lol.) Great game too since Vancouver won even though they were considered the underdogs. I look forward to going again!
Love the Whitecaps, and love it even more that they beat Tdots FC.
The whole evening was fantastic!!! The weather was beautiful and the venue was gorgeous, overlooking the N. shore Mountains. The fans and energy from them and the players was unbelievable. my husband and I greatly enjoyed our night
Great game for Vancouver. We beat a MLS team...hopefully we can make it the Champions League. Go Whitecaps
While the boys played pretty poorly, it was still awesome to see TFC on the west coast. Swangard Stadium is nice, although small, but the Toronto fans made the atmosphere! A good sunset was seen too, for those not all that interested in the sporting aspects!
The Whitecaps game was fantastic. Beautiful summer night, great soccer action and a Vancouver win over TFC. What more can you ask for?
Great atmosphere at Swangard & an exciting game....but the 'Caps lost. Avery well run event and the crowd was into it. Thanks
This was our first Whitecaps game and I would highly recommend this event to anyone! My son, an avid soccer player, and I had great seats and the weather was ideal! The action on the field was of a very high level and the action off it, primarily "Winger" the mascot was just as good....great fun! We will definately be back to catch more Whitecaps games...better value than Canucks games BY FAR!
The last time I saw the Whitecaps play was when I was a little girl and my father took me to Empire Stadium. I thought it would be a nice idea to take my husband to a game, as he is Brazilian and plays soccer himself. I thought the ticket price was reasonable, however, the stadium offers little in the way of comfortable seating. However, they did win the game, and it's a great option for families.
The Whitecaps have taken the thunder out of Minnesota with a 4-1 win and it was a thoroughly enjoyable game seen by an almost full house at Swangard Stadium. We had grandkids visiting from Ottawa; one being a league soccer player had the benefit of watching the pros. The best deal of the day: with four tickets purchased, we received a Boston Pizza "Family Pack" coupon, good for a large pizza, four salads and unlimited pop.....all free. Can't beat that as a bonus!
I bought the Boston Pizza 4 pack and what a great deal! Me and 3 friends had dinner and enjoyed the game for $20 bucks each! The Whitecaps are such a solid team, what a joy to watch. The beautiful background of the trees adds to the ambience of the Swanguard Stadium.
Even though they were playing a team not ranking very high they showed the sold out fans that they are a talented crew!
