Panel for collapsed B.C. Place stadium expected by early next week

VANCOUVER (CP) - A replacement panel is expected to arrive at B-C Place early next week.

The stadium's air-suspended roof ripped during a heavy wind and sleet storm that hit parts of the province Friday.

A controlled deflation of the roof was then conducted to avoid further damage.

A spokesperson for the stadium says more information about the collapse should be available in the coming days.

The next scheduled event for the stadium takes place in less than three weeks.

It's not clear how long it will take to repair the damage.
