Attendees of the 2010 Winter Olympics opening ceremony won’t recognize the inside of B.C. Place. The April 14, 2009 report from David Atkins Enterprises wanted all stadium aisles covered in cool-gray, non-slip paint with drapes at audience entrances. Atkins required the removal of ceiling-hung floodlights and speakers and advertising boards and screens. In their place are rigging for trusses, catenary and cable systems and five circular drapes needed to obscure the stained ceiling. “The eyes of the world will really be on the stadium,” said the report. “It will be impossible to hide the stained roof liner.”
