How We Got Here

WE'VE BUILT AN
INCREDIBLE HISTORY.

For over 25 years, it has been an emblem of BC. As the largest event facility of its kind in the province, BC Place has hosted over 26 million people since opening in 1983.

It's more than just the enthusiastic football fans filling our 55,000 seats. With great size comes great versatility, allowing us to provide a home for the largest trade and consumer shows, for world-class entertainment, and for special occasions on a grand scale.

Over the years, we've hosted an incredible range of historic events, from the royal visit of Queen Elizabeth II, to sold-out Rolling Stones concerts, to the ceremonies of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

With major events already happening on over 200 days each year, we're ready to begin the next step in the evolution of BC Place.
