BC Place
With an impressive hosting resume, including the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Games, BC Place is no stranger to major events. Originally opened in 1983, the stadium has since undergone major renovations that have included everything from seating upgrades to concessions to a retractable roof.
