Much improved
March 10, 2014Saw the NHL Heritage Classic. The new roof gives the whole stadium a lighter cleaner atmosphere. I think BC place is much improved over the dark dismal cave it used to be.

I absolutely love this place
January 26, 2014
Have you ever been in a building that you instantly feel the energy of it. This place has it and it must be experienced for one's self.
From the outside you think well thats a pretty neat building. You walk up and see this very unique monument to Terry Fox that you absolutely have to take photos of and pose...

Updated and spectacular
December 20, 2013What a jewel of a stadium and one that Vancouverites can be proud of. Its been updated and the improvements are very impressive. Great for watching a BC Lions football game with great views from every seat, easy access to amenities and washrooms and polite, helpful staff to answer your questions.

Incredible Stadium
November 26, 2013My family and I attended a BC Lions football game on October, they were playing against the Edmonton Eskimos, and yes they did win that game! It was our first time in the stadium, and we were so impressed with what we saw. I felt that it was well marked and easy to find the section that we given. The... more

Great stadium
November 03, 2013
I've watched both the BC lions and the Vancouver Whitecaps play here. I've been to stadiums in New York, Ireland and throughout the UK, and this easily measures up with top marks for view, ease of access, toilet facilities and catering.
I have to say, the Whitecaps decision to not use the upper tier was wise, they fill the lower...

October 13, 2013And so did we, this was our first visit back to the new and improved venue, the Band playing outside, the energy from everyone added to the experience.

Go Whitecaps
September 29, 2013Lovely arena, well located and very friendly atmosphere. Went to watch the Whitecaps play whilst on holiday and really enjoyed it. The roof was covered which helped as there was a storm playing out outside the arena. Sadly the 'Caps lost but was a great experience and to see how a football crowd from another country treats a game.

September 29, 2013The main problem with the stadium is it's just too big both for the Lions & the Whitecaps,the only occasions it will fill-up are Grey Cup finals & maybe a concert once in a while. The retractable roof is also a joke, when open one sees a little sky obstructed by cables & the video screens/scoreboard, all in all a... more

Go BC Lions - a great evening of entertainment
September 27, 2013We booked some tickets for the BC Lions before we went on holiday. Decided to shell out for the club seating and was glad we did.

Fantastic Whitecaps atmosphere
August 11, 2013The atmosphere for Whitecaps games is amazing. They're a lot better than Lions games or Canucks games, and the crowd is much more energized. The Southsiders and Curva Collective are standing and cheering all game long, and they get everyone else in to the game. In other sports, the crowds need something to spark them, but 'Caps fans are constantly... more

Much better now that the roof is retractable
June 20, 2013BC Place Stadium, located in downtown Vancouver, BC, is the home field for the Canadian Football League's British Columbia Lions and the Major Soccer League's Vancouver Whitecaps. Watching a game at BC Place during the summer is much more comfortable now that the roof is retractable. Before with the roof covering the stadium, the air was quite muggy.

Whitecaps Game is a Must
May 27, 2013You must go to a Vancouver Whitecaps soccer match if they are in town when you are. The atmosphere is electric and fans are definitely fanatical. Pick up some kind of team apparel or you may feel left out. The scarves are an affordable souvenir. Stay away from the foot long hotdogs, not nearly as tasty as the regular size.... more

Electric Atmosphere
May 07, 2013I've been a Whitecaps FC season ticket holder since BC Place underwent its $500 million+ renovation. I must say, this venue makes football matches absolutely ELECTRIC. With the way that BC Place configures its seating, there isn't a bad seat in the house. All seats are large, cozy and comfortable. The high definition TV hanging from the centre of the... more

Always like BC Stadium
April 17, 2013
Great venues attracts great stars, and we are so lucky to have another facility to give more options of concerts, indoor sports for Vancouver..

For all the money spent on renovations, it takes forever to get thru the gates
April 07, 2013We have been to BC Place twice since the mega million dollar make over. Thought with replacement of the inflated dome and removal of the airlocks, that ingress to the facility would be improved. I think it is worse than ever, taking well over 40 minutes for both The Wall and McCartney concerts.

Adequate location adequate parking options, unattractive architecture

Renovations to roof provided ppportunity for modern update to all facilities
November 17, 2012After the Olympics in 2010, our famous mushroom topped some was deflated and a construction project began inside and out of BC Place to modernize.

BC Lions home
October 10, 2012Has the second largest indoor screen----the one in the Dallas Cowboys stadium is bigger. Great when the roof is open and when the home team scores the outdoor lights are orange for football and blue for soccer. Comfy seats with cupholders and the Terry Fox Plaza outside that tells the story of Terry's cross canada run for cancer research.
