BC Place will be the site of the opening and closing ceremonies as well as the medal presentations. It was built in 1983 and is currently a multi-use facility. It is presently undergoing upgrades and renovations.
BC Place is well located in downtown Vancouver, very close to GM Place, and is easily accessed by bus or skytrain.
According to the Vancouver 2010 website, "The Opening and Closing Ceremonies for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games and the Opening Ceremony for the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games will be held in BC Place Stadium in downtown Vancouver. This will also be the site for nightly Victory Ceremonies presentations.
BC Place Stadium will seat approximately 55,000 spectators for the Olympic and Paralympic Ceremonies and features the largest air-supported stadium roof in North America. The enclosed venue offers many advantages in addition to protection from winter weather, including an unprecedented opportunity to stretch the boundaries of ceremonies’ spectacle using state-of-the-art lighting, projection, sound and special effects technology."
