The adjustment ensures that sports enthusiasts can enjoy both the Canucks game and the CFL Championship without any overlap. The Grey Cup, scheduled to kick off at 3:00 p.m. PT on the same day, is a major event for the city of Vancouver and British Columbia sports fans. By moving the Canucks game, fans can participate in the Grey Cup celebrations and still attend or tune into the hockey game afterward.
The 2024 Grey Cup will take place at BC Place, right next to Rogers Arena. With many tickets already sold, the stadium is expected to be packed. If both venues sell out, more than 72,000 people will gather in the two neighbouring buildings. This would have likely resulted in heavy traffic, parking challenges, and potential congestion in the area, as both the football game and the hockey game would have concluded around the same time.
In a statement, Duane Vienneau, festival co-chair and president of the BC Lions, expressed excitement about the upcoming event.
 “It’s been a decade since we last hosted Grey Cup in Vancouver, so many people in B.C. and the Lower Mainland haven’t yet experienced the passion, energy and charm of a Grey Cup Festival in their city.”
In addition to the game itself, the 2024 Grey Cup Festival is drawing significant attention. Earlier this week, it was announced that nearly two dozen bands and artists will perform at various free and ticketed events leading up to the game. One of the highlights will be the Jonas Brothers headlining the Twisted Tea Grey Cup Halftime Show.
