Conceive. Believe.
Behold. Imagine yourself in the heart
of one of the most beautiful, pristine,
and active cities in the world, Vancouver,
British Columbia. That’s where
you’ll find BC Place, a place where
the community comes to live their dreams.
As home to some of the greatest moments in BC’s
sports history and future host of the
2010 Winter Olympic Games Opening and
Closing Ceremonies, at BC Place, Big
Dreams Live Here.
With great size, comes
great versatility. Imagine, in just a
few hours, BC Place can be converted
from a football stadium packed with 60,000
screaming BC Lions fans to a concert
bowl party with the Rolling Stones.
As the world's largest
air supported domed stadium, BC Place
is also home to the province's largest
trade and consumer shows including the
Boat Show, Home Show and Auto Show. With
major events happening over 200 days
each year, BC Place truly is a place
where dreams come alive.
BC Place provides
the crucial link of bringing the province’s
events and spectators together, while
fulfilling its mandate of economic
generation. The Stadium averages over
200 event days per year. Beyond the
invaluable community benefit of BC
Lions football and events like the
Vancouver Sun Run, the amount of economic
activity generated by the venue by
fiscal year end 2007 was nearly $58.1million.
BC Place
is a division of PavCo (BC
Pavilion Corporation), a Crown Corporation
of the Province of British Columbia,
Ministry of Tourism, Sports and the Arts,
Hon. Stan Hagen, Minister.
