Transport information for those going to the games at BC Place, Vancouver, along with details of the Fan Festival site.
As mentioned earlier in this thread there are 2 Skytrain stations which will have limited access from usual events.
Also note that Science World will feature the FIFA museum for those wanting to take in the history of the event.

From the translink.ca website:

* On match days, Main Street–Science World Station is the best way to reach BC Place Vancouver. This station connects directly to The Last Mile pedestrian route to the stadium’s primary entrance at Carrall Street and Pacific Boulevard.

Match Day Access

Stadium–Chinatown Station and Yaletown–Roundhouse Station will remain open, but there will be limited access to BC Place Vancouver from either station.
  • The Expo Boulevard (lower) entrance at Stadium–Chinatown Station will be closed.
  • Customers can still enter Stadium–Chinatown Station via Keefer Street and Beatty Street.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The FIFA Fan Festival™ Vancouver will take place at Hastings Park, located on the historic PNE grounds. The FIFA Fan Festival™ Vancouver will be a central gathering place where fans can celebrate, watch live match broadcasts, and enjoy a range of entertainment offerings.

We’re increasing bus service to help fans get to and from the festival, including a dedicated shuttle connecting the event grounds to both the Expo and Millennium lines.

I have arrived at Redondo Beach (12 miles south of LAX).

The Project Barley Taps and Grill was the first stop last night to meet an old mate from Welly.

A budget friendly pub on the pier with no frills, but friendly staff and vibe.

Great atmosphere for the NBA finals game last night.
 
Good starting point!

Here for 3 nights before moving closer to Inglewood.

If anyone is in the vicinity I will be wearing my NZ Football cap.

Also so much for sustainability, can't take reusable water bottles in. You'll have to fork out for it. 

Sustainability and USA 😆

Been state-side for a week pretty much now and the amount of plastic and styrofoam garbage I've been given is something else. 

The USA is so far behind Europe and even Australia and NZ it's not even funny. 

If anything, having football fans here from all over the world has only made things worse.

Given the huge good vibes around the WC and the sincere displays of not only fans from around the world getting on, but ordinary Americans welcoming them, maybe I was wrong to call for a total boycott. This shames the racist administration rather than giving it a propaganda boost.
