BC Place, Multi-purpose stadium in downtown Vancouver, Canada
Description
BC Place is a stadium in downtown Vancouver with a movable roof that can open or close. The seating areas hold more than fifty thousand people across several tiers, offering clear views of the playing field.
History
The stadium was built in the early 1980s and was then the largest air-supported domed stadium in the world. Later, the facility received a new mechanical roof that transformed it into a modern multi-purpose venue.
Culture
Local sports teams use the stadium for home games, with soccer fans enjoying the green pitch and open roof on summer days. On game days, the surrounding streets fill with supporters in jerseys making their way to their seats.
Practical
The easiest way to reach the venue is by SkyTrain, with Stadium-Chinatown and Yaletown-Roundhouse stations offering direct access. Several bus lines and False Creek ferries complete the transport options and allow flexible planning.
