SkyTrain's Stadium-Chinatown station is literally beneath BC Place — the most efficient stadium transit setup of any venue in the tournament. Use it and use it every time. Vancouver is spectacularly beautiful but extraordinarily expensive. Book accommodation 6+ months ahead and consider staying in Burnaby or New Westminster where SkyTrain still connects you and prices are 35% lower.
