Why not a shot of the glorious north shore?

Could we not pay the $$ to get the good spot?
The Canada Place sails are an iconic landmark...it reminds me of CBC's set for Sydney 2000. They had a panoramic window backdrop of the Sydney Opera House.


Keep in mind that there were three main channels broadcasting the Games: CTV, Sportsnet, and TSN. CTV and TSN had sails while Sportsnet had the rings and the inlet/mountains.
