alt kilgore Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 When in Stanley Park, as a fan of a team that was just blessed with two Cups, be sure and pay homage to the statue of the dude that the Cup was named after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapefruits Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Check out the Olympic Cauldron at Canada Place. Fly over Canada is pretty cool as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.I.A.H.N Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Hi Kings Fan There is alot of good suggestions on here if you can cut through the crap.......I suggest if you want, google tripadvisor for vancouver and look for the top 50 things to do/see while in Vancouver....at least you can cross reference to know which ones are good ones.......enjoy our city.....there is lots of clean air up here.........filtered by the rain! Bring wet gear and pray for sunshine, it is stunning in the sunshine! PS....Hope the Canucks win! Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Oh yeah, if you're getting upper bowl tickets hit the grilled cheese vendor in section 310ish. They have a pulled pork grilled cheese that will blow you away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuckleheadFan Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 If it's a clear night dinner up at Cloud 9 (food is only ok but the view of the City is great) or up to Grouse Mountain for a great view of the City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks35 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Main and Hastings is a must see LOL I got my Macbook Air stolen down there. Never seen that asian man or the laptop since that day. The guy even had the balls to email me back and tell me how nicley the laptop was running. #craigslistSCAMS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.DirtyDangles Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 New Years Day game during the week after a night of partying. I imagine there will be many that will have to work the Friday as well. Throw the cost of the holidays in the mix, i can see it being a tough sell no matter how well the team is doing at the time. Jeez the fans have faded then.... valid points though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 One point. Do you ski/snowboard? If you do. Skip Rogers Arena and spend New Years at Whistler. Hit the slopes in the daytime and watch the game at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Luongo Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Like others have said, better to get your tickets now. Cheaper now than later. Habour Centre is pretty cool as you can see the entire city from the view up top. BC Sports Hall of Fame - very close to the arena, some cool stuff there. Phnom Penh is a pretty good Cambodian restaurant(hidden gem) in Chinatown, however be prepared for a long line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANUCK-EXPRESS Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Get your tickets now!! $80 is a good deal. Stay away from Main/Hastings!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggins Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 2) What are some must-see Vancover destinations in the downtown area? Will only be in town for a few days and figured it would be best to hear from the locals what the best spots are to hit in a short time. No. 5 Orange. :emot-parrot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkorea Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 craiglist and scalpers will have some tickets for about 40 for this game. last year we bought from scalpers for 40 for 2nd row uppers vs kings and tickets were more in demand last year. there was even 40 dollars canadians tickets this year and those are more in demand then kings tickets. tickets are always cheaper on game day despite what most people have said in this thread.

johngould21 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I don't live in Vancouver, all I know is that the Canucks train there it's supposed to be pretty tough to run. Around 32 minutes is the record I think. Why is it closed, I thought you can go anywhere in Vancouver summer or winter? Sorry for the dumb questions I only get as far as Van every 5-10 years now it seems. Its closed because its impassible over the winter months due to high levels of snow. Its dangerous enough in the spring and fall because of the rain and snowmelt. However that doesn't stop some the fools that go past the gates at the bottom warning them not to proceed. I've done the Grind in May and believe me there's quite a bit of snow near the gondola, and the run off from the snow melting made the trail slippery and muddy. But, we were able to climb it. Using my oldest runners of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48MPHSlapShot Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 On an unrelated note, thanks for Linden Vey! 4 goals, 3 assists, 7 points in 13 games. Kids been good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dedalus Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I live in Los Angeles. I'd have no problem meeting up for coffee and telling you all you need to know about Vancouver! PM me if you like. Yeah, I moved from Vancouver to Los Angeles a few years ago. OP, the same goes with me. If you want, PM me and I'll tell you everything you want to know. Also, the people telling you to go to Main and Hastings are taking the piss. It's basically "skid row", except really mild compared to downtown LA's skid row.

Sir Lord Baltimore Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 damn, Canucks fans really do suck. The guy asks for some advice & so many people take it as an opportunity to be dirt bags. A few solid suggestions mixed in the lot, but way too many assholes. To be fair they're just joking around. He got legitimate answers. Honestly, if he can't take the humour in this thread then he probably shouldn't come up to Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
