I'm happy that I got a few tickets to two nightly-medal ceremonies events at BC Place....didn't get the opening nor the closing.

And BC Place might look like a piece of junk right now, but it's by far the largest Olympic Stadium in Winter Games history and largest medal ceremonies venue by far in history as well. The venues at previous Games pale in comparison.

Rice Eccles seats something like 40,000 and the medals plaza, 10,000.

In Torino, the stadium there sat 35,000 and the medals plaza, 8,000.

BC Place: 55,000 for opening/closing and 30,000 for nightly medals.
