Touchdown! the Renovated BC Place Stadium Welcomes the 99Th Annual Grey Cup by Leszek Apouchtine, Jennifer Patterson & Sheri Radford Touchdown! The renovated bC Place stadium welcomes the 99th annual Grey Cup by Leszek Apouchtine, Jennifer Patterson & sheri Radford roar, you lions, roar! “The Pride of all BC” plans to roar past the competi- tion and play in the 99th Grey Cup this month at BC Place. The BC Lions, Vancouver’s professional football team, have called BC Place home ever since the sta- dium opened in 1983. They were forced to relocate for more than a season while the stadium was renovated, but returned to their home turf at the end of Septem- ber to a near-capacity crowd of more than 50,000 screaming fans. The BC Lions are part of the Canadian Football League (CFL), which started in 1958. The CFL contin- ues a long tradition of Canadian football, and includes the Toronto Argonauts, a team that started back in 1873, making the Argos the oldest professional football team in North America. NFL fans will notice a few dif- ferences in the way Canadians play the game, includ- ing the larger CFL field, an extra player per team in the action and one less down. Many friendly debates can be heard at local bars and pubs when Americans dare to claim that their style of play is better. The BC Lions date back to 1954, but are currently the youngest franchise in the CFL. They have played in the Grey Cup nine times, won five of those times, and are hoping to pounce on any opponent that stands in their way of winning the championship on home turf. The Lions are wrapping up a great year, which saw them clinch a spot in the play-offs with a few games still left to play in the regular season. This will be the 15th straight play-off run for the Lions—a team record and tied for the fourth longest run of play-off appear- ances in CFL history. Not many people would have predicted they could pull it off after starting the sea- son with five straight losses. As the season winds down and the play-offs get underway, the Lions have never looked better under the new roof of BC Place.

    PREGAME NOTES 2019 TIM HORTONS NHL HERITAGE CLASSIC WINNIPEG JETS vs. CALGARY FLAMES MOSAIC STADIUM, REGINA, SASK. – OCT. 26, 2019 JETS, FLAMES FACE OFF OUTDOORS The Winnipeg Jets and Calgary Flames face off tonight in the 2019 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic (10 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CST, CBC, SN1, CITY, TVAS2, NBCSN) – the League’s 28th regular-season outdoor game and fifth in the Heritage Classic series. The Jets and Flames each have participated in one prior outdoor game, both under the Heritage Classic umbrella. Winnipeg played host to the 2016 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic at Investors Group Field, falling 3-0 to the Edmonton Oilers. Nine Jets players who appeared in that game remain with the team: Kyle Connor, Nikolaj Ehlers, Connor Hellebuyck, Patrik Laine, Adam Lowry, Josh Morrissey, Mathieu Perreault, Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler. Current Calgary goaltender Cam Talbot started for Edmonton in that contest, stopping all 31 shots he faced for the third shutout in outdoor NHL game history. Current Jets forward Mark Letestu scored the winning goal (while shorthanded), as a member of the Oilers. And current Flames forward Milan Lucic recorded two penalty minutes for Edmonton. Calgary served as hosts for the 2011 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic at McMahon Stadium, defeating the Montreal Canadiens 4-0. Two players who appeared in that game remain with the Flames: Mikael Backlund and Mark Giordano. Overall, the Jets feature 11 players who have participated in a prior outdoor NHL game (minimum: 1 GP in 2019-20), while the Flames have four. Talbot leads that group with four such appearances, though he served as a backup goaltender for three of them (2014 SS w/ NYR [2 GP], 2019 SS w/ PHI).

  • Information Bulletin Bc Place Revitalization Final Cost
    INFORMATION BULLETIN BC PLACE REVITALIZATION FINAL COST VANCOUVER, BC: BC Pavilion Corporation (PavCo) announced today the final cost for the new BC Place is $514 million. The final approved budget for the stadium revitalization project was $563 million. The project was completed $49 million under budget primarily through savings achieved during the Phase 2 Retractable Roof project. BC Place was revitalized in two stages over a period of more than three years, involving more than 5000 skilled professionals and tradespeople. BC Place was awarded ‘Project of the Year’ at the StadiumBusiness Awards in Italy, in May 2012. The stadium has also been nominated for the BC Hydro PowerSmart Excellence Awards in the ‘New Construction’ Category – achieving approximately 38 per cent in electrical savings from eliminating the old air-supported roof. Furthermore, the Rick Hansen foundation recently featured BC Place as an “Accessible Success Story” - for ‘new accessible features of a community facility’. Reopening September 30, 2011, the new BC Place became the new home to Major League Soccer’s Vancouver Whitecaps FC, and home to the returning BC Lions Football Club and the BC Sports Hall of Fame. In its first year, the new multipurpose facility has hosted a wide range of events including: the 99th CFL Grey Cup Championship, 2012 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Soccer Tournament, CIS Vanier Cup, BC High School Football Championship, Monster Jam, the 50th Annual Vancouver International Boat Show, BC Home and Garden Show, PlayDome, Vancouver International Auto Show, The Vancouver Sun Run, EAT!
