walei Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 A lot of people here regret that BC Place wasn't refurnished before the games but IMHO, the new look is fug... I prefer the old marshmallow look myself. None of those spires sticking out like porcupines... are they permanent or just for construction purposes?

jawnbc Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Hate hate hate hate it. And imagine how many surgery waitlists could've been cleared with the 400+million $. Totally pees me off, every time I see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally pees me off, every time I see it! How many could have been cleared with the 700 million construction budget for the Olympics, the billions spent on the airport link and the sea to sky highway or the 1.2 billion operations budget? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I am surprised to see how much work is left to do especially with a BC lions game in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobase2010 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I have to wait until the stadium is complete before I give my judgement. I went to their open house last Sunday and here is a short video of my visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenadian Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 I think the stadium looks fantastic. I still think it is a huge shame that they didn't get it ready two years earlier to have it completed for November 2009 and the 2010 Olympics. I know...the costs. But what an opportunity lost.

Durban Sandshark Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 With a BC Lions CFL home game to boot against Edmonton. Seats look much better. The scoreboards is awesome--looks a lot like the Jerryworld's one, though slightly smaller. http://www.cfl.ca/video/index/id/21029?autostart=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
