What do you love most about Vancouver?

What I love most about Vancouver is that it’s a great city but it also has lots of options to be in contact with nature.

Describe what it’s like to play at BC Place.

It’s always good to play in front of our fans and see that every time, more people are interested by our team and come to support us, that’s really good and it means we’re doing the right things on the pitch to bring more fans in.
