The Vancouver Whitecaps FC are headed to the MLS playoffs for the second straight season, and the team is throwing a huge party for fans this weekend to continue building momentum.

They’re taking on West Coast rivals LAFC on Sunday, October 13 at BC Place, with the upper bowl open and an estimated 33,000+ fans in attendance.
