BC Place Stadium - Vancouver

Activity:
Did you know B.C. Place Stadium is the biggest air-supported domed stadium
in the world? The stadium holds more than 60,000 people, and is the
home of The B.C. Lions CFL football team. As well, many of the big-name
concerts coming to Vancouver happen at B.C. Place. Take a tour of
B.C. Place Stadium and get a behind-the-scenes look at the playing field,
locker rooms, and lounges. You definitely won't get these opportunities
during a game!
Age group: I can see our seven year-old son, who wants to become a football player, getting a kick out of this tour. However, our four year-old daughter who hasn't developed an interest in sports is another matter. Expense rating: The cost of this tour is relatively inexpensive when you compare it to the cost of a game. Adults are $6, students and seniors get a $1 discount, children between the ages of 6 and 12 pay $4, and kids under 5 are free. You can park on the street or in the Vancouver Public Library parking lot for about two to three dollars. Details: Summer tours leave from Gate H every Tuesday and Friday at 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. Call B.C. Place Tours (604) 661-7362 for more information. B.C. Place is located in downtown Vancouver at 777 Pacific Blvd. Website: www.bcplacestadium.com/ Also checkout the General Motors Place Tour - Vancouver. Area: Vancouver Season: Summer Educational highlights: The stadium is an engineering marvel. They say the Teflon roof is only 1/30 inch thick but stronger than steel. Fun for the adult?: It's a golden opportunity to see the stadium without a mob of people being there. I also wondered what it would be like to go inside a locker room. |
