The BC Lions are a professional Canadian football team that play in the Canadian Football League (CFL). They play their home games at BC Place in Vancouver, British Columbia. The Lions play in the West Division. The Lions were started in 1954 and used to play at Empire Stadium in East Vancouver. They also played at the Empire Stadium site in 2010 and 2011, in a temporary stadium called Empire Field. This was necessary because BC Place was closed in those seasons for major renovations. They are rivals with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
The Lions have won the Grey Cup six times, most recently at BC Place in 2011.
