“The Lions are truly British Columbia’s team. It’s an exciting time for our franchise to bring two games to Kelowna for our great fans in the Okanagan,” said Duane Vienneau, President of the Lions. “The World Cup is a once-in-a-lifetime event for Vancouver. Looking at all options, Touchdown Kelowna is the perfect fit. The Okanagan is home to a very passionate segment of the Lions fanbase, which makes us thrilled for the opportunity to bring two games to the region.”
The Lions host the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday, June 27 and the Edmonton Elks on Saturday, July 4. Both are 4:00 pm kickoffs at the expanded Apple Bowl. Tickets are on sale now and fans are encouraged to act quickly following the success of pre-sale windows. The Lions’ Party Zone tickets for both of the Touchdown Kelowna games sold out in five hours.
BC Lions season ticket holders will continue to get priority access for both Touchdown Kelowna games.
The historic two-game venture also features an exciting festival taking place in the City of Kelowna, details of which will be announced soon. There will also be more news soon about the BC Lions returning to Starlight Stadium in Langford on Vancouver Island for a pre-season game May 23rd.
