FOOTBALL IS BAC K We are pleased to finally welcome you back to BC Place for the 67th Home Opener in Lions’ history. It has been 657 days since we last played on home turf, and are excited to face off against the Edmonton Elks this evening.

Head Coach Rick Campbell and the squad are prepared to start strong. Get ready for some speed on offense, with new addition play-makers Lucky Whitehead and Dominique Rhymes joining the receiving core. The defense features a solid mix of veterans and CFL youngsters, who are fired up after a winning performance against Calgary.

Get ready to bring the roar factor, and celebrate our big return . Let’s go Lions!

BC PLACE

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

VACCINATIONS

SOCIAL DISTANCING

We encourage all British Columbians to take the opportunity to get vaccinated. Proof of vaccinations will not be required for ticket purchasers on August 19th. If you are not yet vaccinated and would like to find out more visit: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/ content/covid-19/vaccine/register

The BC Restart plan allows 50% of the capacity of seats sold, which would allow 12,550 fans in BC Place. Social distancing will not be required, however, fans will be 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 strongly recommended for all people 12 and older who are not yet fully vaccinated. If you feel uncomfortable during the game and would like a mask, please visit fan services at section 234 and we will provide one.

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 HOME AT LAST 656 days. Lions fans, that’s how long it’s been since we last saluted you walking off our home turf at BC Place.
