The general manager of BC Place Stadium said it's actually a good thing that the new retractable roof is leaking on the eve of the Grey Cup football game.
Howard Crosley, who manages the venue for PavCo, said a small leak appeared Saturday morning over the field at one of the 35-yard lines.
As of Saturday afternoon, 25 people were working on the roof, he said.
"The crews are up there and attending to it and fixing that, and [we're] hoping that if there are any others, they'll get a chance to fix those as well."
The leak appears to be coming from the silicone seal between a glass shelf and the fixed-panel roof, he said.
"It's not of any major concern. We are able to attend to them, and things are looking good for the game tomorrow."
"For the most part, we've been waiting for a good rain so that we could see if there were any places where seals hadn't taken properly or where welds might not be properly done that would cause water to be able to get inside the building," Crosley said...

According to the price that Mdme. Clark put on the heads of the adult disabled ($50K a year which she called 'quite a lot') that would be....
....approximately 12,000 adult disabled years.

Ahhh, more of the DWI LINO gordo's legacy, RossK.
Add it to the double-the-original-cost-estimate convention centre, selling off BC Rail, etc., and there's quite a costly trail of tears on his journey to Canada's high commissioner to Britain . . . .
(Speaking of which the word verification on this comment was "c-r-y-i-n"! How appropriate, eh?)
We might as well all get used to it: in Christy and Gordo's greatest place on earth, substandard has become the new great ...
Trail of tears, very apt description.
RossK, thanks, I hate math. I knew you'd do the math for me ;)
