The sell-out on Nov. 22 will rival the 53,837 attendance for the Whitecaps’ 2-0 win over the Lionel Messi-led Inter Miami CF last April, in a Concacaf Champions Cup semifinal.
The largest Whitecaps crowd at the stadium dates back to the NASL days of June 1983 when 60,342 fans witnessed the home team top Seattle Sounders 2-1 during the very first sporting event at BC Place.
This season to date, the Whitecaps have welcomed 536,298 spectators to BC Place in 2025, the highest such total in club history.
