BC Place is a renovated architectural statement surrounded by futuristic towers. That's not Commonwealth. It's as utilitarian as BMO Field with a boring setting. It's just bigger and this is a mens world cup.
Having been to Grey Cups at both BMO (2016) and Commonwealth (2018) I can say that Commonwealth is on a completely different (i.e. higher) level than BMO. It’s more than just “bigger”, and doesn’t feel like it was built on the cheap like BMO.
Agreed that BC Place will be the showpiece.
