Vancouver's CFL team began in 1941 as the Vancouver Grizzlies in the Western Inter-provincial Football Union. The name was changed to the BC Lions in 1954. The team plays at BC Place and the season lasts from June to October, longer if the team makes it into the playoffs.
The game is based on american football but features a longer and wider field and 3 downs opposed to 4 in the american game. The game is differnt in that there is more of a focus on passing than running which proves to be very exciting for the fans.
The season runs from June until November with the Lions playing 8 regular season games at home.
