City hasn’t allowed public viewing parties since 2011 Stanley Cup rioters caused $3.78M in damage
Canucks fans hoping to gather outdoors to watch the team’s next playoff round against the Edmonton Oilers may be in luck yet.
The Canucks are set to face off against the Oilers for their first game on Wednesday at Rogers Arena. In 2011, approximately 55,000 fans were gathered at a public viewing area on West Georgia Street and around 100,000 people were in surrounding streets for the Canucks’ final game against the Boston Bruins. When the team lost, fans rioted and caused about $3.78 million in monetary losses, according to a report by the BC Prosecution Service. It said 112 businesses were damaged, 122 vehicles were damaged or destroyed and 52 assaults were reported against civilians, police, and emergency personnel.
