Snoop Dogg performs ahead of B.C. Lions' home opener
Snoop Dogg was a B.C. Lions fan on Saturday — if only for one night. The legendary rapper donned a Lions jersey with the number 20 and his name emblazoned on the back as he took the stage for a concert at B.C. Place before the Lions hosted the Edmonton Elks in their first game of the CFL season. Over the course of a 35-minute set, Snoop Dogg sang several of his hits, including 'P.I.M.P.,' 'Gin and Juice,' and 'Drop it Like it's Hot,' plus abbreviated versions of songs he has featured on, such as Katy Perry's 'California Gurls' and the explicit version of Akon's 'I Wanna Love You.' His dancers and backup singers also donned Lions gear for the show. View image in full screen Snoop Dogg performs before the Edmonton Elks and the B.C. Lions play a CFL football game in Vancouver, on Saturday, June 7, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Ethan Cairns B.C. previously announced more than 50,000 fans were expected to take in the show. Several hundred danced and sang in the end zone below the elevated stage, while thousands more stood in their seats.

He has become a pop culture icon known for working with a variety of entertainers from rapper-producer Dr. Dre to television personality Martha Stewart, and was a roving correspondent for NBC at last summer's Paris Olympics. The 53-year-old musician closed his set Saturday by signing several footballs and handing them out to kids in the end zone. 'You've got to promise to grow up to be a B.C. Lion,' he said to one. Story continues below advertisement 'You getting good grades in school?' he asked another. Before leaving the stage, Snoop Dogg signed yet another football, removed his trademark sunglasses and the gold, bejewelled Wu-Tang Clan ring on his pinky, and handed off his gold microphone. He then launched the ball into the upper deck of the stands. He formed his hands into a heart and clapped for the crowd, then left before the game got underway. Big concerts have become an annual tradition for the Lions. Last year, the team launched its season with a performance by rapper 50 Cent that drew an announced crowd of 53,788.

Edmonton bar puts its own vintage spin on Stanley Cup final
Slow Pour Beer Bar, a local Edmonton pub, is joining in on Oilers fans' Stanley Cup spirit but with its own nostalgic spin. During Round 2 of the Oilers' playoff run against the Vegas Golden Knights, the owners of the bar went to an antique mall and found a 26-inch faux-wood Mitsubishi television from 1992. They now tell customers to 'come party like it's 1992' at their establishment, presenting the Stanley Cup final on the world's least high-definition screen.

Some are seeking quieter viewing spots like the Slow Pour Beer Bar. 'The usual places to go are kind of jam-packed, so when we discovered Slow Pour through social media (and) that they were playing it on this old-style TV, we thought it was just a unique way to see the game,' said Oilers fan Nathaniel Villegas. Story continues below advertisement 'The puck gets a little lost. It's a single pixel so it's hard to kind of track, if you know what I mean,' said Ashley Callihoo, another Oilers fan. But she added that the warmth and nostalgia of the TV makes up for all of it. For more on this story, watch the video above.
