Bag policy and storage at BC Place

BC Place is a multipurpose stadium in downtown Vancouver that hosts sporting matches, concerts, trade shows, and conferences. Suitcases and large bags are not permitted inside, and visitors are encouraged not to bring bags of any type. A clear-bag rule applies: only clear plastic bags no larger than 12" x 12" x 6" or small opaque bags no larger than 6.5" x 8.5" get through the doors.

For anything that doesn't meet the policy, BC Place runs its own bag check for a CA$10 fee per piece on a first-come, first-served basis, typically at Gate H or Lot 457. For BC Lions games, that bag check opens 90 minutes before kickoff at Gate A and during regular door times at Gate C, staying open for 30 minutes after the final whistle.

During the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the venue switches to a restricted item storage option at CA$20 per item instead of the standard bag check. With Stasher, you can store bags from CA$3.49 per bag per day at 10+ locations near BC Place.
