BC Place Vancouver is a multi-purpose stadium in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Located on the north side of False Creek, it is owned and operated by the BC Pavilion Corporation, a crown corporation of the province. The venue is currently the home of the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League, Vancouver Whitecaps FC of Major League Soccer, the annual Canada Sevens, and the BC Sports Hall of Fame. Opened on June 19, 1983, BC Place was originally an indoor structure with an air-supported roof, the world's largest at the time. Following the 2010 Winter Olympics, it was closed for 16 months as part of an extensive revitalization, the centrepiece of which was replacing the inflatable roof with a retractable roof supported by cables. Once construction was completed, the stadium's new roof was also the largest of its type.
