Practice Facility Location Idea – North East side of Granville Street Bridge

i dont even see an ice surface here. where would they skate
Practice facility for ants?
why the hell are we so concerned about the location for a practice facility.
We could call it “Piss Stench Iceplex”
[The land is assessed at $20 million dollars](https://www.bcassessment.ca/Property/Info/QTAwMDAwNDdVSA==). If Aquaman won’t even spring for a competent medical team, do you really think he’d pony up $20M to buy an alley that smells like piss that could barely fit a rink, let alone build it AND the other amenities that would be required like parking, player space, etc?
What’s more, the size of that space is TINY! I measured a local arena for minor hockey and figure skating, and it came up to 300m as a perimeter. The space you are suggesting is 230m as a perimeter.
I imagine something ¼ of the size should be more than sufficient.
Looks like a good place for more condos
Buying crack cocaine from a guy in a trenchcoat here at 2am would go so hard
There is no evidence Canucks fans are less mature, less rational, or less knowledgeable than other NHL fanbases but then there are posts like this that really make a person wonder.
Are you thinking the reason there is no practice facility is that management and ownership can’t decide where to put it?
LOL you guys think Frank is going to fork out for premium real estate for a practice facility? He’s cheap! It’ll Burnaby or further.
Might be able to have an outdoor rink open 3 days a year
If the city doesn’t give the land to Aqua for free while also subsidizing the cost to build it wont happen
We could point out 100 spots in Vancouver to build a practice facility but the long and short of it is that Aqualini has no will or adequate funds for a proper facility within Vancouver. Look at our player support staff/medical. There’s no money.

Looks like a nuclear wasteland
