Goodbye BC Place Dome - time lapse

[btuc401]

Looks like God's trampoline.

[dknights411]

Seeing what happened to the Metrodome in Minneapolis, this change turned out to be a good thing.

[jazu40]

New roof will cost 0.5bil$ (probably more at the end) Half bil for a circus tent. Someone will get rich from this project. Taxpayers on the hook again.

[rykumitsui]

@jazu40

Stupid question but the life time on domed stadium roofs is about 20 years. Wouldn't it have made more sense to simply replace the roof with another roof and just re-renovate the amenities?

[jazu40]

@HomeskooledVideo Don't call me by your name. You are are very naive and brain washed. All public project in Canada are over estimated. So much for "the best place on earth".

[HomeskooledVideo]

@jazu40

You're fuckuing stupid, you think the seats and concessions were "DONATED" and we only pay for the roof? HAHAHA. If you don't like it here then GTFO, I wouldn't live somewhere I didn't like. Are yopu powerless? plenty of room in winnipeg for ya. I'll call you by whatever I want...

[jazu40]

@HomeskooledVideo You are not brain washed. You are brainless. Brand new facility like BC Place should cost not more than 200mil.

[drdave2468]

all i care about is the amount of toilets to take a shit and more beer stands so we dont miss the games anymore and if it costs us half a billion to do so then so be it!

[EricKZhang]

R.I.P. The worlds largest inflatable roof :(

[VOLKSN8R]

I hope that the new roof will make concerts sound better!

[jakmiec]

@FabulouslyStinky lol sounds like a drinker

[mackdallas]

i live in vancouver.. tehe

[eafanboyssuck]

oh noes!

[evanhoath]

You know how where paying for the new dome, new 3% booze tax. why do the drinkers always have too suffer!

[AfterKnightShine]

Goodbye dome. We'll miss you!

[sw2de3fr4gt]

Anyone see the whale today?

[canucklehead444]

@sw2de3fr4gt yeah, i saw it on the national before the canucks game.. .which couldve gone better

[StuMack156]

Nice time lapse! I find it interesting how the clouds in the top right corner just seem to appear out of nowhere.

[sirbarkus]

some one explain?

[st3el]

lol you can see someone climbing the crane.

[unscenegamers]

Why are they deflating the dome?

[hunkatiel]

@unscenegamers They're upgrading to a retractable roof that they can open up on our 30 alloted non rain days of the year.

[unscenegamers]

@hunkatiel Well those thirty days will be the bestest.

[drunkhomer]

vancouver soooo beautiful

[ryanpiuma]

Any chance you can post this in reverse? It would look like a giant souffle rising.

You know what everybody likes? Souffle. Have you ever met a person, you say, "Let's get some souffle," they say, "Hell no, I don't like no souffle"? Souffle is delicious

[fivetimejeez]

@ryanpiuma lmao, that sounds familiar but i can't remember where i've heard it before.

[ryanpiuma]

@fivetimejeez

Start with the Donkey's line from Shrek and substitute "Parfait" with "Souffle"... Voila! An instant youtube classic.

[iggy03]

Whats the point the stadium is garbage ! If anything they should just leave the roof open !!!

[SputNik146]

i was waiting for it to blow up, shitty as video

[therealcharismatron]

I am sure Gordon Campbell found a way to close several art galleries, museums, and women's shelters and cut funds to education to finance the renos. He probably skinned a few kittens for good measure along the way.

[MitchLevy666]

@therealcharismatron

good i fucking hate cats

[DesertFox57]

nooo :(

[vfivev]

C'mon, there's nothing wrong with BC Place that several tonnes of high explosive wouldn't fix. I can't believe we're renovating that piece of crap. It's like putting make-up on a pig.

[masih9]

It'll have a rectractable roof.. They had to do it since the whitecaps are going to be in mls and there has to be an open roof field for official soccer games.

[belleabby]

what happens when it rains and there's no roof, it's vancouver after all.

[RUEZ69]

Why aren't Vancouver taxpayers paying for this alone? Why should BC taxpayers pay for this?

[wowiehoho]

@RUEZ69

it's BC Place. suck it up

[RUEZ69]

@wowiehoho Wow, what logic. When's your mensa meeting?

[boundaryzero]

@RUEZ69 because Vancouver people arent rich enough... oh wait, they are

[windywindy]

@RUEZ69 owned.

[RUEZ69]

@windywindy are you five?

[Canadianabanana]

This is so sad! It'll never be the same.

[AngusMcFuzzypants]

@Canadianabanana - There is nothing sad about this... that place is a dump right now - a $600,000,000 + renovation will be a HUGE improvement.

[Danthemanhan]

@AngusMcFuzzypants or they could just nuke the whole stadium.

[enforceOM]

@Danthemanhan wow really ?

[Danthemanhan]

@enforceOM I meant they could have instead. The place is a dump.

[bordalk]

@Canadianabanana its gonna be better, they're adding a new roof. also no more freaky ear popping doors to walk through :D

[2010peters]

@Canadianabanana Like on a hot summer day when the air is so thick you can walk on it? Sweating like a pig with no sunlight,just the heat? Yea I'll really miss that.
