What’s the best way to get to BC Place?

The Stadium–Chinatown SkyTrain station is your most convenient option. It drops you right at the stadium's doorstep, bypassing downtown traffic and street closures that are common on major match days. Public transit is highly recommended for ease and efficiency.

What should I bring to the stadium?

Keep your bag light and within size restrictions, as security checks are thorough. Essential items include your ticket, identification, and a method of payment. Consider dressing in layers, as Vancouver weather can be unpredictable, even in summer.

Where can I eat and drink near BC Place?

The stadium concourse offers a variety of food and beverage options. Outside, the Gastown and Yaletown neighbourhoods, just a short walk away, boast an array of restaurants, pubs, and cafes perfect for pre-match meals or post-game celebrations. Many establishments will have special offers or viewing parties on match days.
