BC Place Grand Re-Opening! - September 30,2011

The last day of the month and another birthday present! My friend, Kelvin, bought me a ticket to watch the first BC Lions game at the new BC Place. For the last several months they'd been working on the retractable roof and now the stadium resembles a spaceship but looks cool nonetheless.

I wore an orange dress to show my Lions pride and I even painted my nails orange! We were given orange pom-poms before the game.

Watching the retractable roof open up was pretty cool. I really felt like I was part of Vancouver history!

So it was the BC Lions versus the Edmonton Eskimoes. It always amazes me to see some of the players pray before the game. Such a show of faith, especially among 'famous people' is rare. I , for one, applaud it!

The game was pretty entertaining. The half-time performance was not. Seven fireworks does not constitute a fireworks display. I was busy eating mango-flavoured Japanese candy so I wasn't too bothered anyway :) It was nice to see the beautiful Sarah MacClachlan sing the Canadian national anthem before the game started though.

BC won by about 10. Fun evening:)
