BC Place Stadium is a multi-purpose domed stadium in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, at 777 Pacific Boulevard. It is a large venue, built to host a range of events rather than a single sport, and it sits on the edge of the city centre, close to the waterfront and the Yaletown district.
What to expect
As a domed stadium, BC Place is designed to be used in all weather, so a visit does not depend on the Vancouver skies. Its main tenants are two professional teams:
- BC Lions, playing in the Canadian Football League
- Vancouver Whitecaps FC, playing in Major League Soccer
If either team is playing at home during your stay, a match is the most direct way to see the stadium in use. Because the venue hosts other events too, check what is scheduled before you go.
Getting there and around
The stadium's location at Pacific Boulevard places it within walking distance of several downtown neighbourhoods. Visitors can combine a trip here with time on the waterfront, in Yaletown's restaurants and shops, or in the wider city centre. Allow time for travel on match days, when the area is busier.
Planning your visit
Event schedules, ticket availability and entry arrangements vary from one event to the next, so confirm the details directly with the venue or the team before setting out. A visit to BC Place works best as part of a wider day in Vancouver, pairing the stadium with the city's parks, water and neighbourhoods.
