Click the link above, go to the "News Hour" section, and click "World Cup bid".
There is talk of hosting:
- the 2026 FIFA World Cup...with other Canadian cities. It would definitely put our investments on BC Place to good use, and if the Whitecaps get around to building a 30,000 seat Waterfront Stadium plus somehow manage to add another 10,000 seats we could have a second World Cup venue in the city.
- another World's Fair?
- hosting the Summer Olympics after 2020...even possibly a Vancouver-Seattle bid? Certainly not, the IOC would never allow it.
Griffiths hinted that in light of Vancouver's Winter Olympic success, it's possible we could get our NBA franchise back.
