Description

This is downtown's gigantic, pillowy stadium. Its claim to fame is that it is the world's largest air-supported dome, and in the future this will be the site of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. The stadium opened in 1983 and was constructed with enough concrete to build a sidewalk from this city to Tacoma, Washington. From July to November, it plays host to the Canadian Football League's BC Lions. It also holds concerts and trade and consumer shows like the Vancouver International Auto Show and the BC Home and Garden Show. The stadium also holds the BC Sports Hall of Fame and Museum.
