Great tune to edit to. It's The Alan Parsons Project. The intro is called Sirius and then the song is the title track of their 1982 album "Eye in the Sky". Cheers!
Expos. From Exposition. The baseball team was named after the highly successful World's Fair or World's Exposition or Expo which took place in Montreal in 1967.
Our boys of summer have been gone 3 years now, & this city has a big hole in its soul. Very little vision left in this city. They even stopped a Cirque du Soleil project from being built. The Main has lost much of its old glory. Streets in such pitiful condition, your car feels like a roller coaster. Bagels, smoked meat (less Ben's), & the old port can't replace baseball. As a native Montrealer, never thought I'd say this but Toronto is starting to look better. GO EXPOS FOREVER!!
If you've been living under a rock, Montreal LOVED the Expos..its just that Major League Baseball screwed them over bigtime. Montreal would have fans sell out the damn stadium in the 1970's and 1980's. And Montreal produced a hall of famer in Gary Carter and soon to be Andre "the Hawk" Dawson.
true, and they're gone for that reason now. In hockey it's the same in some american cities. NY islanders get less attendance than Québec Remparts in Quebec Major Junior Hockey league. NY islanders get between 8000 and 11000 fans per game and Remparts can get in the 15000s sometimes. It was the same for Halifax Mooseheads of the same league a few years ago. A normal QMJHL team have 2000-4000 and a NHL team 16000-20000.
if the olympic stadium was downtown then the expos would still be alive. no attendance because of a stadium designed for every purpose except baseball in an unpopular part of town. there was supposed to be a new stadium two blocks south of the bell centre, but the province didn't put money into it and now condos are on the lot instead
with good ownership and a competitive team they would have been fine, it's a shame really...a smaller downtown park...and the ability to keep the young stars might have saved them.

I wish. No, this is the video that I made on my PC after a trip to Montreal in 2000.
no, 2001 home opener was sellout too and the final game wasn't. 49k on 2001 home opener and the game after about 4k, final game in 2004 was 31k
I miss the Expos so damn much....

Its just too bad that nobody actually cared for the expos until the final days when they finally realized they took their team for granted.
Thats how I'll remember Montreal...The Expos...Whatever that name means...
nice job!!!
