===The 2010 Winter Olympics=== {{main|Richmond Olympic Oval}} For the [[2010 Winter Olympics]] in Vancouver, the City of Richmond constructed an 8,000-seat speed-skating oval near the No. 2 Road Bridge, just across (the middle arm of) the Fraser River from Vancouver International Airport. The final construction cost (paid for by the city, the provincial government and the federal government) is around $178 million [[Canadian dollar|CAD]]. Since the completion of the Games, the oval has served as a recreational structure for local residents. The Richmond Oval officially opened on 12 December 2008.<ref name='VANOCOvalOpen'>{{cite press release |url=http://www.vancouver2010.com/en/news/news-releases/-/61802/32566/tusb8j/vanoc-board-of-directors-appro.html |title=VANOC Board of Directors approves revised budget in principle; Jack Poole re-elected as chairman |access-date=10 December 2008 |publisher=VANOC |archive-date=8 September 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090908143552/http://www.vancouver2010.com/en/news/news-releases/-/61802/32566/tusb8j/vanoc-board-of-directors-appro.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> The city received $141 million CAD from ASPAC Developments for city-owned land next to the Oval. The sale more than covers the unfunded portion of the Oval's price tag.<ref name="Vancouver 2010 News article"/>
