Renovation

WE'RE LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.

There's no doubt that the old BC Place has served the province well. There's also no mistaking that parts of the stadium-especially the original roof-were fast approaching the end of their lifecycles.

That's why we've upgraded and modernized BC Place in three phases, all under the direction of the Province of British Columbia.

The second phase included a fixed-price contract for a spectacular cable-supported retractable roof - the largest roof of its kind in the world. Revealing over 7500 square metres of clear blue sky, the new roof has transformed BC Place into a year-round, open-air venue and a new architectural signature for our province.

As well as becoming a magnetic new home to Canadian football, this versatile new stadium gives our province the power to attract valuable events that might otherwise pass us by, such as major summer festivals. Upon reopening, BC Place also became home to British Columbia’s first Major League Soccer club – the Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
