BC Lions History
The BC Lions open their 71st season in the Canadian Football League (CFL) on Saturday, June 7 at home to the Edmonton Elks. Founded in 1954, the Lions have made ten appearances in the Grey Cup, Canada’s football championship, and have won the cup six times: in 1964, 1985, 1994, 2000, 2006 and 2011. The Lions have claimed the Grey Cup twice on their home turf, including their notable 1994 victory over the former Baltimore Football Club, which prevented a U.S.-based team from hoisting Canadian football’s top prize. Following world class renovations to the stadium, the Lions won another Grey Cup at home in 2011. The Lions logged the CFL’s second-longest streak of playoff appearances, running for 20 consecutive seasons between 1997 and 2016. Throughout the BC Lions’ history, individual players have claimed 14 Most Outstanding Rookie Awards, 11 Most Outstanding Canadian Awards and Most Outstanding Defensive Player Awards apiece, seven Most Outstanding Player Awards, and five Annis Stukus Trophies for the CFL’s Coach of the Year.

What a waste of time and money. Ferry Fare , Hotel room, Tickets, to watch that display . More rough play in the stands than on the feild. Should have stayed home where I wouldn't feel guilty about about turning the game off. Our next family outing will probably be camping.
The Lions stunk up BC Place so badly the fans were running for the exits, no mean feat considering how big the stadium is! They were out-played, physically manhandled, and coached into the turf.
Disgusting doesn't begin to describe this game last night. Shame on the Lions! It was Calgary for God's sake! We have become the Hamilton of the CFL!
this could have been the worst single sporting event I have witnessed.
The game was everything we thought it would be and then some. My 12 year old son (who is also a Lions fan) had no idea that we were going to the game. I had him thinking we were going to vollunteer at the soup kitchen that night and he wasn't too sure if that was such a good idea since we had travelled all the way from the Comox Valley. When I showed him the tickets and we started walking in through the security gates, he was totally blown away. He said that it was one the best nights he has ever had and the experience at BC Place was over the top. Just seeing him having such a great time made me a very happy Dad and proud to have such an awesome son who enjoys watching our favorite team together.
Lots of action, tons of hits.....Great game, too bad the Leo's lost !
An exhibition game, and an obvious one at that (even to someone who knows very little about the sport). In the end, there were some entertaining moments but I won't be going back to see the Lions play anytime soon.
The crowd was jacked, the atmosphere outside before the game, and during the game was great. Not being aloud back in once you go outside - not so great. I understand why this is done, but I had no idea when I went outside at halftime to get some fresh air that I wasn't aloud back in. Why can't you just get re - searched, or have a section so you can go outside but not off the property. I totally understand why it's done, but me personally, I don't wanna be trapped in a building for three hours. It gets hot in there. I was stunned when I tried to re - enter at halftime. No one told me I couldn't get back in. I had no idea. I paid for my tickets, why couldn't I just get re - searched. I was a bit choked. You don't even wanna know how I got back in for the second half.
Lions games have a very relaxed environment where everyone is just there for good fun and a good game. We may have lost this one, but we will get them next time!!
First time ever at BC Place and had an amazing time. Lines for beer and food were longish but not unbearable, atmosphere was fun and good spirited. As a Hamilton fan, I was obviously in the minority but the Lions' fans were gracious hosts and their comments/digs were all in fun; never mean spirited or personal. A great time all round and I will certainly check out some more games this season. One complaint...where were the hot pretzels?? Did I miss them?!!
The event was great, a recommended experience. Yet, I would have been more comfortable in my recliner with a cold one, slippers and not being distrubed to stand, sit...stand, sit each time another fan wanted to get a drink, change seats or what ever. The noise level is beyond belief, that at times you could not hear want was being announced. I realize this is what going to a game is all about, but to spend money to not see every play, hear what is taking place or being comfortable in your seat and not asking someone to move as it is your seat, is not my idea of an amazing time.I felt with the loss, let down best describes it, as the experience to get to see the game up front and personal did not go the way I would have thought...a win that so easliy could have been ours and ended up theirs. Oh, and what about that cost to park reasonably close to the stadium? I was forever gratefull of dry weather. So, will this occur anytime soon...again...."No". Will I be watching and cheering our Team... A definite "Yes". One last thing... Thank you Coach Buono for keeping your promise and mentioning the Special Olympics at the game...just living up to the honorary Head Coach title, eh?
The game wasn't good at all. The Lions let so many plays happen that they shouldn't have. There were so many opportunities that the didn't capitalize on.
Free hats for the home opener. The bathrooms have been renovated. The lineups for food didn't seem as long. Lots of security guards available and kept busy. Lots of positive on the field also. A better game this week although the opponent was supposed to be weaker. The Tigercats D-line looked very similar to ours last year and played with a purpose. It was a great evening and the Lions almost made a comeback but Otis Floyd had something to prove.
As a relatively inexpensive family event, I would highly recommend this to other families of pre-teen aged children.
Go to a Lions game, always a good time. Good price too! You won't regret it.
Two passes for interseption touchdowns, not much more to say than that. You can't win when you're helping out your opponents like that. On the defence side, the Lions let too many long running plays happen against themselves. The crowd tried to get the hometown Lions pumped up but as one of those fans, I was let down. Not sure what the cure is, they have the tallent but just don't execute at a high enough percentage.
The BC Lions and BC Place put on a great show on Friday night against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The entertainment on the sidelines kept the crowd in the game when things were slow and when they weren't, the Lions looked great. But, alas, the usually lacklustre Tiger-Cats put on a greater show to take them to only their 3rd Victory in June/July since 2005! WAY TO GO CATS!!!!
The home opener was awesome not just because it was the first home game. The Lions threw every they got at the Tigercats at the last minute, but it was he last mistake that cost them the whole game. All in all this is one of the games i don't want to miss.
First time -- will definitely go again! Thanks for the caps!
