Lonely Planet review

Home of the BC Lions Canadian Football League team, this 60,000-seat Teflon-domed sports stadium was rumored to be on its last legs until it was named as a 2010 Winter Olympics venue and resuscitated with a makeover. The dome's quilted appearance is due to the crisscrossing steel wires holding down the air-supported roof - it deflated spectacularly in 2007 and had to be given the kiss of life by engineers.

The stadium is also used for rock concerts and shows that range from indoor fairs to an annual food festival, and there's a popular tour offering a glimpse behind the scenes.
