No respect.
The immortal words of legendary standup comedian Rodney Dangerfield.
It seems neither the Vancouver Whitecaps nor the B.C. Lions can get the full respect of their landlord, B.C. Place Stadium.
I shot these photographs Oct. 22 from the concourse of Rogers Arena. It is a solitary flag affixed to one of the cables on the east side of B.C. Place's roof. It's ostensibly there to offer a visual signal of the wind direction. Wind is key for B.C. Place, as it can sometimes be the deciding factor for opening or closing the retractable roof.
Look closely. The flag is neither a Whitecaps nor a Lions flag. (As you can see, there is plenty of room for two... or two dozen, for that matter.)
It is the flag of the Vancouver Canucks, emblazoned with Johnny Canuck.
The Canucks don't play at B.C. Place. They have their own venue, across Griffiths Way at Rogers Arena.
No respect.
