Venue : BC Place Stadium Roof Should be Replaced (after 2010)

The British Columbia government was advised by PavCo, the crown corporation in charge of managing BC Place Stadium, that the Teflon-coated roof should be replaced with a retractable dome top but not until after the 2010 Olympics.

No decision has been made to this point, but the briefing was carried out Wednesday by the head of PavCo, David Podmore. Key points mentioned include the requirement of the venue for the 2010 Opening & Closing Ceremonies, the challenge in finding a suitable builder, rising building costs, and the tight time line.

Possible plans for the dome replacement continue to be worked on.
