About the Stadium

BC Place is Canada's largest covered stadium and one of Vancouver's iconic landmarks, distinguished by its bright white air-supported roof visible from across the city. The 54,500-capacity venue has hosted multiple Grey Cups, FIFA Women's World Cup 2015, and is home to the Vancouver Whitecaps. Downtown Vancouver — consistently ranked one of the world's most livable cities — is walkable from the stadium, and the SkyTrain's Canada Line offers a direct, fast link from the airport.

On foot: BC Place is in downtown Vancouver — very walkable from most hotels. By car: Georgia Street or Pacific Blvd — downtown parking available but expensive ($30–$50 CAD).
