TR TRADES PARTNERS WITH BC PLACE FOR STADIUM GRAPHICS

TR Trades proudly collaborates with BC Place—one of Canada’s most iconic multi-purpose event venues—to print their stadium graphics. These large-format prints create a visual storytelling project that celebrates the venue’s most memorable moments.

Whenever BC Place needs to add printed images to its spaces, the team relies on TR Trades for expert guidance on design, materials, finishing, and display solutions. As a result, this stunning collection of framed stadium graphics brings the stadium’s iconic events to life.

A PARTNERSHIP BUILT ON PRINT EXPERTISE

As part of this collaboration, BC Place provided TR Trades with numerous images. TR Trades designers then arranged these photos into professional-looking collages. To prepare these large-format prints, the team digitally interpolates many of the images to improve resolution and sharpness for high-quality reproduction. Using AI upscaling software, the designers easily enlarge small source files while maintaining exceptional clarity. Once they finish the digital collages, TR Trades submits digital proofs. BC Place then reviews the files, requests any necessary revisions, and gives final approval.

TR Trades printed each piece on Epson Premium Photo Paper and mounted the photos to 3/16” white foamcore. Next, the team secured the artwork in 0.75” black frames. They also added satin gold plates to each frame to clearly identify the artist and event date. Altogether, TR Trades produced 44 framed pieces in various sizes, measuring up to 40” × 40”.

PRINTING STADIUM GRAPHICS FOR EVERY CORNER

The stadium graphics are displayed throughout both guest-facing public areas and back-of-house spaces. For guests, these displays enrich the stadium experience by highlighting unforgettable performances and achievements. For staff and team members, the imagery serves as a source of pride, celebrating the milestones and shared success that define BC Place.

Thoughtful placement creates a cohesive visual narrative across the venue, reinforcing its identity and connection to the event it hosts.

These stunning collages showcase memorable images from major events at BC Place. The artwork features global artists like Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Beyoncé, Elton John, and the Rolling Stones. The displays also highlight thrilling sporting events, such as, the Grey Cup, the BC Lions games, the Vancouver Whitecaps, the Supercross, the Invictus Games, and much more.

TR Trades worked closely with the BC Place team to provide guidance on design, print finishing, materials, and display methods. TR Trades made sure each print was designed and displayed properly. This expertise allowed BC Place to confidently bring its most memorable events to life through their captured images.

TIMELY STADIUM GRAPHIC PRODUCTION

The stadium graphics project required timely execution. TR Trades successfully met a tight production schedule deadline producing the stadium graphics.
