MLS Owners Weigh Relocating Vancouver Whitecaps, Fans Start #SaveTheCaps

Major League Soccer owners are weighing relocating the Vancouver Whitecaps, with Las Vegas cited as a top destination. The club's lease at BC Place expires at the end of this year, and ownership warns that without a new in-market stadium deal the team could leave Canada altogether. The Whitecaps rank among the Western Conference's best teams this season, yet stadium and ownership issues prompted supporters to launch a #SaveTheCaps campaign to keep the club in Vancouver. A relocation would remove one of Canada's MLS franchises and cost Vancouver match-day revenue, local jobs, and a top-tier soccer presence.
