Every day we share a single photo from our Flickr Pool shot by one of our faithful and talented readers (that’s you!)
By now I am sure you are aware that tomorrow is the official opening of the newly-renovated BC Place with the BC Lions hosting the Edmonton Eskimos. And as exciting as that is, and as tempted as I was to talk about BC Place today, the truth is I haven't seen it finished - none of us really have. So perhaps its fitting to take a look at the temporary-but-quaint Empire Field. The Lions may indeed open the new BC Place, but the Vancouver Whitecaps had the honour of closing out Empire Field.
And attending that last outdoor game was passionate football fan and blogger BlueAndWhiteArmy, whose photograph below really conveys the atmosphere that was present in the stadium. While I am not an expert on anything - let alone soccer - I do know that soccer fans worldwide are among the most passionate of any sport. How do I know? Let's start with the logo on the flags in the photo: they don't belong to either the Whitecaps or the Seattle Sounders (the two sides that night) - but the Southsiders, an organized community of enthusiastic Whitecaps supporters. With their own logo. 'Nuff said.
Here is Tifo flags.
