Amar Doman, owner of the BC Lions and CEO of Doman Building Materials, discussed the team's performance and stadium plans in a September 2026 interview. He noted the Lions' 6-6 record and their five-game winning streak after a 1-5 start. Regarding the possibility of purchasing BC Place, Doman stated that the provincial government has said the asset is not for sale, but he expressed a desire to continue discussions, saying he believes the stadium should not be in Crown hands and that private ownership could manage it more effectively. He also commented on the team's games in Kelowna, describing them as sold out and praising the smaller, more intimate stadium atmosphere. In an August 2026 interview about Doman Building Materials' second-quarter earnings, Doman attributed better-than-expected profit to tailwinds in lumber pricing late in the quarter, which helped the fixed-margin business. He described the housing market as "Goldilocks, not hot, not cold" and noted that Canadian lumber prices were lifted by production curtailments rather than consumption. He also said the company continues to pursue acquisitions, stating that several are in dialogue and that the company remains disciplined in its approach.
