badjava : vancouver, the interweb and other irrelevant topics

I was asking myself this question last week because I haven't heard much about this recently. Those who listen to the Pratt & Taylor show on Team 1040 know how its a constant topic of outright ridiculousness that could only happen in Vancouver. How could a sports facility that is 100% privately funded and overwhelmingly supported by the Vancouver populace not have been built by now?

It was originally supposed to be built in time for the soccer U20s hosted in Canada recently but that date has come and went, even though the stadium idea had four years to be planned and constructed. Yet still there is no stadium.

Well, it appears as though a third site is now being proposed for the downtown stadium east of the two originally planned sites near the Helijet terminal. Hopefully the politicians will get off their asses and deliver what this town desperately wants and needs: a world class, outdoor sports facility for soccer and other events.
