Standing out from the Vancouver skyline, the white fabric roof of the BC Place Stadium has often been described as a giant marshmallow. When it opened in 1983, it was the first covered stadium in Canada and the largest air-supported dome in the world. Noted for its versatility, the stadium is able to convert in a matter of hours from a football field seating 60,000 people to a more intimate concert bowl seating up to 30,000.
Among the famous guests who have visited the dome are Queen Elizabeth II and Pope John Paul II. Visitors hoping to catch a glimpse of a celebrity or two can take behind-the-scenes tours to the locker rooms, playing fields, and media lounges. The stadium also houses the BC Sports Hall of Fame and Museum , which chronicles the history of the region’s sporting heroes.
