Let Free Kick lead our readers to your doors. Riding the MLS Bandwagon into Vancouver Few people could have predicted the tremendous success of Toronto FC. That’s been the story, where fans have obliterated attendance records so there is now a 15 year wait for season tickets. Plans to build additional sections for the 22,000 seat stadium appear to be the only answer to give access to the raucous ear-splitting sea of red supporters who have made BMO the best place to watch a soccer match in North America. Vancouver is next. In 2011, the Vancouver Whitecaps will be joining Toronto in the MLS (Major League Soccer). You will want to be there too! With the team slated to play at BC Place under the new retractable roof, soccer promises to be an overnight success on par with the Vancouver Canucks. Going to a professional soccer match will soon become one of the hottest events in town. In fact, just look at the Seattle Sounders who started their inaugural season last year. With an average 28,000 sold out attendance, they enjoyed massive support from the people of Seattle, local businesses and league officials who propelled the Sounders as an instant hit. By 2011, the Whitecaps, Portland and Seattle will be competing along the Northwest coast in a rivalry that is sure to be legendary. Free Kick Magazine will be there with your business going into the hands of fans. Be a part of World Cup Fever 2010! Let’s keep the party going! Promote your business to the soccer community. Olympic fever will roll into summer this year with the World Cup taking place in South Africa. 2010 is the year soccer fans around the globe have been waiting for and all eyes will be on South Africa when 32 countries come to compete in the big dance. Expect a giant month long party in most of your multicultural neighbourhoods where dancing in the streets, flag waving and delirious honking becomes the norm. In fact, there is going to be such a passionate buzz before it starts that if you are not Italian, French, Brazilian or from any of the qualified countries, you are going to want to change your citizenship. Football is, by far, the biggest sport in the world and the festivities are about to begin. |
