Snoop Dogg Ignites BC Lions' Season Opener in Electrifying Night vs Elks
Man, what a way to kick off the 2025 CFL season! If you didn’t catch the Week 1 matchup between the BC Lions and the Edmonton Elks, you missed more than just football — you missed a spectacle. It all went down at BC Place in Vancouver, and let me tell you, the energy in that stadium was unreal. From the roar of the crowd to the flashing lights and pyrotechnics, the night had all the markings of a major event. And at the center of it all? The Doggfather himself — Snoop Dogg.
That's right, Snoop took the stage in a custom BC Lions jersey, rocking the number 20 with “Snoop Dogg” stitched on the back. The vibe? Straight fire. He opened the season with a 35-minute concert that set the tone for the rest of the night. It wasn’t just a few songs either — he brought the whole catalog. From “Gin and Juice” to “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” and even snippets from collabs like “California Gurls” with Katy Perry and Akon’s “I Wanna Love You,” the crowd was on their feet. Hundreds rushed to the end zone to sing and dance while thousands more vibed from their seats.

Even Lions players couldn’t resist — kicker Sean Whyte and defensive back Patrice Rene were spotted watching from the sidelines, caught up in the show like the rest of us. Snoop wasn’t just there to perform, either. He connected with the fans in a real way. He tossed signed footballs to kids, gave out hugs, asked about school grades, and even launched a ball into the upper deck after gifting his mic and jewelry to fans. That’s love.
And that was all before the game even started.
This season opener wasn’t just a football game — it was a celebration of sport, culture, and community. Over 50,000 fans packed the stadium, and you could feel the pride in every corner. The Lions have made it a tradition now — bringing big-name artists to start the season off right. Last year it was 50 Cent. This year, Snoop Dogg. Who knows who’s next, but the bar has definitely been raised.
BC Lions know how to make an entrance, and if this game and concert combo is any indication, the 2025 season is going to be something special. The Lions are here. The Elks brought the fight. And the fans? We were just lucky to witness history.
