When I was living on the Island I would go to a few games in Vancouver (When the Riders played them). Most of the times the games are played after 7pm so you would have to stay overnight (added cost). I think there was two times that I was able to attend a game and come back to the island after the game.
Once I was able to take public transport all the way from downtown Victoria to BC Place attend the game and come back again. All on the same day.
