Not great ideas but just ideas.

Hosting Wrestlemania? Toronto did, why not Vancouver?
Hosting the Superbowl?
Bringing back the NCAA Div 1-A International Bowl that was played in Toronto and rotate it between Vancouver,Montreal and Toronto.

Super Bowl? Are you kidding me?

Do you think any NFL team owner in their right mind will ever let the biggest show every year go to a non NFL franchise city?

I'll believe it when I see the US Gov't open up the JFK files and we find out who really pulled the trigger.

I don't know, after seeing the riots here last year, I think there's enough idiots in this town to pack it for Wrestlemania :pound:

Actually, why not pack it with rioters ? Let the cops and fire department circle the field, put a few old police cars and what have you in the middle of the field, build a few movie store fronts and let the games begin. Firemen can turn their hoses on the fires or the rioters, their choice. Cops can taz and spritz tear gas to their hearts content and the rest of us can watch it live on Shaw..............just a thought.

The Winter Classic would sellout in B.C. Place. Some friends were in Chicago for their Winter Classic and they said it was an experience of a lifetime.
Your friends need to get out more...

Politicians have absolutely no respect for our tax dollars. Did they really have to spend that much for that retractable roof? Like a convertible, it's only used a couple months out of the year and the BC Lions I heard prefer to have the roof closed during games as the noise from the crowd is better. I think it's a joke....

Like I said not great ideas. I think for Wrestlemania to do well here, you may need a Canadian to headline the show. Who knows maybe some Asian wrestling fans may come over. They can head over to Japan after the card

So true. What a waste of our money.

And let's suppose the Whitecaps like the roof opened. Does it really matter? Nobody really cares about soccer that much. Vancouver is just a hockey market and that's it. Who was the political clown that decided to spend all that money for a retractable roof?

Most likely the same on who said BC is The Best Place On Earth, HST is The Right Thing To Do.

How about it 3 B? Have any better ideas to pay off BC Place?

Vancouver is a hockey town only while they win. Remember not too many years ago when they sucked and there was only 8000 people in the arena. Vancouver doesn't know how to support a team. If you win they come if not they find other things to do. Other cities are like philly for example don't care, win or lose they are there to support their teams. even if to just boo the hell out of them.

Cost of tickets to a flyers game is probably half of what a canucks ticket is, so they have that luxury.It's a lot cheaper to boo them at home & save yourself $300 for an evening.

2026 FIFA World Cup

Wishful thinking but Vancouver should give the 2026 FIFA World Cup a try. No one thought Qatar had chance of winning 2022 even if they had so much cash. Well, by 2026 Vancouverites already forgot paying for the Winter Olympics. :nod:
