Vancouver will be hosting seven games at BC Place, and road closures all around the arena will be in effect on game days.
Pacific Boulevard has been closed between Cambie Street and Carrall Street since May 23, and Granville Street is closed in between West Georgia and Davie June 8.

If you’re going to the FIFA Fan Festival at Hastings Park, there are no reports of road closures.
However, there will be a big increase in vehicle traffic in and around the PNE grounds, as well as increased transit service.
Speaking of transit service, there will be a dedicated shuttle connecting the Fan Festival to the event grounds to the Expo and Millennium lines.
BC Place won’t be accessible from the Expo Line’s Stadium-Chinatown Station. The same goes for the Canada Line’s Yaletown-Roundhouse station.
Despite these restrictions from the main Skytrain lines, transit is still the preferred option to and from all of the game day sites.
No matter what option you’re taking, the big thing to remember is that volume and congestion will be extreme.
Give yourself an extra hour to commute, and make sure you go to the bathroom before you get on the road.
