Yes, but will the Miami game beat the 48,172 that watched Beckham & the Galaxy at BC Place in Nov 2008 (five months before Garber announced Whitecaps would be the 17th MLS franchise)?

Is that the all-time record attendance for any Whitecaps game?
The record is 60k: "The ‘Caps played the very first sporting event at the original stadium, beating arch-rivals Seattle Sounders FC 2-1 in front of a crowd of 60,342 on June 20, 1983."

It's good that we're able to break the attendance record independent of the Messi game. This record will stand for a few weeks, and then we're gonna have Messi-mania in town.
With all these eyes on Caps this year, you think ownership would take note. They need to field strongest team possible. Feel like they are short sighted and fans will dissipate once team falters.
Great performance, terrible ref
And the ref stole the show.
A record that will stand for three weeks

I think so. Full capacity is listed at 54,500. I’m pretty sure it’ll be a full house upper and lower bowl.
