Home to the CFL's BC Lions and MLS's Vancouver Whitecaps FC, BC Place is the largest multi-use facility in British Columbia with seating for up to 55,000 and floor space of 162,000 sq ft. BC Place is located in the heart of Downtown Vancouver's entertainment district, within walking distance of hotels, restaurants and public transit.

BC Place is currently undergoing renovations which will make our venue the premier sports & entertainment facility in Vancouver. The BC Place Vision 2011 Revitalization Project includes improvements to the Stadium’s overall look and feel, public areas, accessibility, and the addition of a new retractable roof that will breathe new life into this Vancouver landmark.

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.
