BC Place

This guide to BC Place in Vancouver walks through a stormy night on January 5, 2007, when two control-room operators, each unaware of the other, reached for the same panel and began pushing the stadium's air-supported roof past its limits. It traces the aging Teflon-coated fabric that had held up the world's largest air dome since 1983, and the pressure climbing as sleet hammered down outside. Listen for how close Vancouver came to losing its dome that night, before you look up at the roof that replaced it.
