Those of us old enough to remember attending BC Grizzlies games at BC Place probably remember the thrill and excitement of attending a live basketball game. While our friends down south (and even in Toronto) can see plenty of basketball games, Vancouverites who love the game watch exciting high school basketball, college & university teams, and pick-up games at local basketball courts.<\/p>\n
