The story of the Whitecaps Football Club began on December 11th, 1973. Forty years, eleven months, and ten days later, WFC2 came into being as a USL Pro side. Before the announcement, the club had looked into a number of venues. Coquitlam, Surrey, and Swangard were all suggested. They came awfully close to reaching a deal with the City of New Westminster.
