Lonely Planet review for BC Place Stadium
Site of the 2010 Winter Olympic opening and closing ceremonies, the city’s main sports arena was having its dodgy old Teflon roof replaced with a new retractable lid at the time of research, at a cost of around $500 million. On completion (scheduled for summer 2011), it will be the home of both the BC Lions Canadian Football League team and the Vancouver Whitecaps soccer team. Also used for major rock shows, the stadium was expected to resume its popular behind-the-scenes tours once its shiny new hat is in place. Also keep your eyes peeled for the re-opening of the BC Sports Hall of Fame & Museum ([tel] 604-687-5520; www.bcsportshalloffame.com). Closed during the refurb, it’s a family-friendly celebration of the province’s sporting achievements, with plenty of hands-on exhibits.

BC Sports Hall of Fame re-opens Nov 4, 2011
bcsportshall recommends this,
Due to the renovations at BC Place Stadium (where we are located), the Museum itself is NOT open to the public until November 4, 2011. We will reopen with a massive new gallery dedicated to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games, as well as a Canadian Football Gallery in time for the CFL Grey Cup that takes place inside BC Place on Nov 27, 2011. Our temporary phone number is (604) 647-7414. E-mails can be sent to sportsinfo@bcsportshalloffame.com
