BC Place deflated
The domed roof of B.C. Place Stadium collapsed on Friday afternoon and is completely flat.
Former CBC journalist Kathryn Gretsinger said it was the "strangest sight ever" as she travelled into downtown Vancouver over the Cambie Bridge. She said the puffy fabric dome is no longer there, leaving only a circular rim of concrete visible. Gretsinger said she drove around the building to see if there was a tear in the roof or a buildup of excess snow, but couldn't see anything that might have caused the collapse. The stadium, which is home to the B.C. Lions football team, was built more than 20 years ago for Expo 86. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-col...5/bc-dome.html |

crazy! i didn't know it was the world's largest air supported dome. i guess that's kinda cool.
maybe they will make it into one of those nifty retractable roofs like safeco field or something. that would be so much better, especially for the olympics. |
