From the renders it looks great. However, the timing could NOT be worse. How many people are going to mistake the date of this for NYE 2013/2014?

Wow, global warming must have turned this place into the tropics. Look at all the folks with t-shirts and shorts on New Year's Eve! Sorry just being a nit picker.

I don't know why there's a need for renders for this type of thing, but it looks great anyway. Should be fun..

This is in 3 weeks or 55 weeks?

They couldn't have waited until the first week of January to announce this?

I'm betting plenty of people are going to show up in a few weeks and be largely disappointed. Going to be so confusing.

And then there's this note on the website:

More event information on NYE VAN will be released in the fall of 2015.

Yeah the timing of this isn't the greatest.

That last bit confused me as well it's obviously got to be to be a typo.

Kind of a small turnout in the renders.

You can't get a lot of people in that area so the renders showing surface area are actually true to scale.

aren't there patios all over the plaza now too? or do they remove them for winter?

Damn, that's way more people than there was in Downtown Dallas, where I was. Really different sight from last year, when Downtown was dead at midnight.

I am really looking forward to next NYE with the returning big party.

Unfortunately this year's NYE party is now cancelled due to lack of funding.

Vancouver knows how to party! Maybe they could use a little of that viaduct money burning a hole in their pocket?

It was designed to run with private money. They didn't get enough from sponsors this year.

Love Moonbeam's press release (how else does he communicate with us minion) saying the city is ready to provide support to make it a "world-class" event. The two words you will never, ever associate with a New Years Eve event in Vancouver.

Cannot the same guy(s) that paid for the olympic torch pay also for it? Should be pocked money for them to have this in front of their building.
