FAN APPRECIATION N IGHT We are happy to welcome you back to BC Place, as the Lions look to wrap up the 2021 season on a winning note against the Edmonton Elks. It is Fan Appreciation night as we pay tribute to the outstanding Lions diehards who have supported us all year long. On the field, Nathan Rourke gets his second career start at quarterback for an offence that has shown flashes of brilliance despite this current losing streak. On defence, Jordan Williams will try to add to his record breaking tackles total for Canadian rookies. He and the defence will be in for a good test against this Elks offensive attack.

Most importantly, it is time to celebrate you, the fans, so keep your eyes open for exciting contests and giveaways all night long. It’s your last chance of the year to cheer on your Lions, so get ready to roar!

BC PLACE

COVID-19 PROTOCOLS We are taking precautions to keep our fans safe! Please view the requirements below, and be prepared to adhere to these rules when inside BC Place.

VACCINATIONS

SOCIAL DISTANCING

Proof of two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, in addition to one piece of Government issued ID will be required for entry into BC Place.

Details on obtaining the BC Vaccine Card have been outlined by the Provincial Health Authority and can be found at https://www2.gov. bc.ca/vaccinecard.html.

The BC Restart plan allows 50% of the capacity of seats sold, which amounts to 12,550 fans in BC Place. Social distancing will not be required, however, fans are encouraged to take their seats and not mingle on the concourse as the capacity of the concourse is more limited.

MASKS

SEAT SPACING

Masks are now mandatory for all guests aged 5 and older. Masks, covering the nose and mouth, must be worn at all times except when you are eating or drinking in your assigned seat. This rule will apply regardless of whether the BC Place roof is open or closed. If you need a mask, they will be available in section 234.

Distanced pods are not required in stage 3 of BC’s restart plan, but with limited capacity, seats will be spread out to provide separation.

If you are concerned about your seat location, contact us at 604.589.ROAR(7627) or fanservices@bclions.com.

article WORKHORSE JAMES BUTLER AIMS HIGH IN SEASON FINALE Over the last couple of weeks, James Butler has proved that he is a complete back. Following the criticisms about the non-existent running game from the Lions, Butler, who described this rollercoaster season as the epitome of his entire career so far, he and the offence finally found a way to move the sticks with his legs...
