Cascadia Cup rules still being mulled

With travel restrictions still in place, the Vancouver Whitecaps unable to play games in Canada and even home attendance limited, the Cascadia Cup Council recently announced that they remain undecided on how to award their annual rivalry trophy. The decision might not come until summer, they wrote in a joint release:

As the 2021 MLS season begins, representatives of the Cascadia Cup Council are still working through the details on how to award the 2021 Cascadia Cup, given pandemic restrictions in Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver. At this time, many MLS teams (including Seattle and Portland) are not allocating tickets to away supporters or promoting away travel, and Vancouver will, at least temporarily, play “home” games at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, UT with no fans in attendance.
