BC Lions History
The BC Lions are the fifth oldest active franchise in the Canadian Football League (CFL). Founded in 1954, the Lions have made 10 appearances in the Grey Cup championship game and have won the cup six times: in 1964, 1985, 1994, 2000, 2006 and 2011. The BC Lions have claimed the Grey Cup twice on their home turf, including their notable 1994 victory over the former Baltimore Football Club, which prevented a U.S.-based team from hoisting Canadian football’s top prize. The Lions logged the CFL’s second-longest streak of playoff appearances, running for 20 consecutive seasons between 1997 and 2016. Throughout the BC Lions’ history, roster members have claimed 14 Most Outstanding Rookie Awards, 11 Most Outstanding Canadian Awards and Most Outstanding Defensive Player Awards apiece, seven Most Outstanding Player Awards, and five Annis Stukus Trophies for the CFL’s Coach of the Year.

Shocking start. DeMarco could not get them going. Buck ascends and the Lions roar.
Very good ! The game was awesome. There were some funny people who sat around us
It was an exciting game; the BC Lions managed to manhandle the Alouettes 36-14
first ever game great atmosphere!!! better value than a hockey game by far!!
The game was intense, close and exciting. Long time BC Lions fan but as I live on the Island only get over to a game twice a year. Well worth the trip, however I do think the tickets are way over-priced and you would get bigger crowds if you made them more price competitive. We sat in the upper bowl for $80 each which is a bit much. Why does Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg and Regina get bigger crowds than Vancouver which is a considerably bigger city than any of those mentioned? Could it be the ticket prices? It's not the NFL or NHL or Major League baseball or the NBA. It's roughly equivalent to the American Hockey League in Caliber and should be better priced. Wouldn't you sooner see 40,000 a game? Anyway that's my two bits worth and the uniforms were great if not hard to see the numbers.
Came up for the game from Seattle. The roof was open at BC Place, which was my first time experiencing the roof open. Was really nice. Great seats and somewhat entertaining game. Had to take draught beer back on 2 occasions because it tasted "funky", but the vendors were more than helpful in returning.
It was a really good game, at least Lions won. Also, the view was fantastic though
Was great to see my hometown team put up a good battle right until the end!!! Was very hot in the stadium but the seats were great!! No change table in the women's bathroom for infant!
Gotta say I love BC Place! Great venue and great football game!
i went to the game not exactly knowing what to expect having never been to cfl game before bc won stadium was nice if you are everin vanvouved i would recommend it highlyand if you stay at the hampton inn thats right across the street you wont even have to deal with traffic
The Lions make the fan experience fun. Great tributes to Wally! Something always happening. 50/50 done very well. My son made it on to the Big screen- dancing- 40" tall! Sunny day- roof open-Lions maul Rough Riders. Does it get any better than that!
Our seats were terrible for the price we paid. They were tucked under the top level and we could not see daylight or the jumbo screen. The air movement was very bad. Warm.
Game was great , My BIG complaint is there stop serving beer before the 3 quarter has ended , I Could go to a sports bar and watch the game and drink beer until the end of the game for the price of a ticket , keep the beer available until at least 10 min before the game ends !!!!!
It was a good game and a great atmosphere. We had a great view from our seats of both the field and the new screen.
Of course, I want the Lions to win. But, it's not as entertaining when it's a blowout. This game was definitely not a blowout. It was a solid win, but there were several occasions where the end score could have gone the other way. The new stadium is fabulous, of course. I'll have to admit that I'm not a fan of the exterior appearance with all the masts and cables. Inside is very nice. I suppose it's good that the revolving doors are gone, but at the end of games they used to open the main doors so you could get blown out of the stadium. That was kind of fun. I wasn't at the opening night game with all the vending problems. It looks like those are pretty much fixed. My only vending complaint was that the beer was warm. Since they're using standard taps, they have to prepare a lot of beers ahead, in order to keep up when the halftime crunch happens. Dudes, buy some of the Bottoms-Up dispensers so we can get a freshly poured, cold beer. Having said that, however, I DO appreciate that the bartender topped up my beer before handing it to me. The potato fries that come with chicken fingers are excellent. Those are some of the best fries I've ever eaten.
American football and Canadian football has just enough difference to make it really interesting. The BC Place is a fantastic venue, the people were really, REALLY, nice. Concessions excellent...overall loved going to the game and enjoyed Vancouver as a bonus!
Game was good entertainment. But cost of tickets at $90 per ticket too high for good value. Way too many interruptions both commercial and fan appreciation events which slowed the game. I do not want to pay $90 to watch a fan roll around the inflatable ball etc.
The game had the best of everthing that is football in it...unbelivable...can't imagine how another football game could top it...way to go Lions!
The game was great (we won). The stadium was amazing. The concessions sucked!
Very glad I used the self printed ticket and avoided the will call which was far too long and slow. A big walk up needs more staff. Also ate before the game and did not get into the food and beverage lines which were far too long and slow. This better get fixed or a lot of fans will be turned off and money lost!
