Experience the CFL Western Final with “pride”

November 19th, 2011

Vancouver, BC: The BC Lions Football Club, and thousands of their Fans, will all have home field advantage this Sunday, as the BC Lions face the Edmonton Eskimos in the CFL Western Final at BC Place.

This will be the first major championship game in our newly revitalized stadium, and the Western Final always draws large crowds. With that in mind, BC Place will have additional staff on hand to help make your gameday experience enjoyable and memorable.
BC Place would like to remind Guests of the following tips:

• Arrive early - plan your route to the stadium by checking the Getting Here section at bcplace.com

• Due to significantly increased demand for Will Call, Guests picking up tickets in advance of the game are encouraged to visit the Ticketmaster Will Call early in the day to avoid delays.

• Understand where your seats are located in the stadium. Check the recommended entrance gate on your ticket – for example: “Enter Gate E”.

• Always dress for the outdoor temperatures - BC Place is now an ‘open-air stadium’ even with the roof closed!

• Take transit to avoid traffic hassles if you can. Call TransLink Customer Information at 604.953.3333 or visit translink.bc.ca.

• We are just a few blocks from the Stadium-Chinatown SkyTrain Station (Beatty Street at Dunsmuir Street). From the platform, head up the stairs for the gates on the Beatty Street side of the building; or head downstairs to Expo Boulevard for the gates nearest the False Creek side.

• We are also only a few blocks along Robson Street from the Canada Line’s Vancouver City Centre Station at Granville and Georgia.

• Finally, have a good time! BC Place is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for our Guests. If someone in the stands or in a concourse is doing something to make your experience at BC Place unpleasant, please bring it to the attention of the nearest stadium staff member or contact BC Place’s FAN FORCE Guest Assistance program: call 604.661.3434, text FORCE to 69050 or email fanforce@bcplace.com for assistance.
