After sitting on the fence about a decision regarding BC Place for the past few years, it seems as though the old monolith will get its retractable roof after all…just not in time for the Olympics.
The dome in its current form will undoubtedly serve as one of the worst opening ceremony venues in the history of the Olympic movement.
A wake up call before in anticipation of hosting the globe? Not a chance.
Plans to ensure a stadium that Vancouver could be proud of should have began immediately after the roof collapsed in January, 2007, which regardless of shoddy management or a lack of training, was the perfect starting point to get things ready before the arrival of the world.
At least the Whitecaps will be able to enjoy the sky.
ADDENDUM: The BC Place limbo continues.
A new room?
