As a visiting 17 year old from Los Angeles in 1976, I was awestruck by the stadium complex, especially compared to the antiquated 1932 built olympic stadium we had in L.A. that I watched USC football games at. My son and I returned to Montreal in 2020 and I still found it quite beautiful and very unique. I hope it is never torn down, just like the L.A. Coliseum likely never will be.
"Restore Montreal's 'Big O' Stadium to its former 1976 Olympic glory". Well, between 1976 and 1988, that stadium did not have a roof nor a tower supporting the roof. I don't think that removing them is what Premier Legault has in mind.

I hope they do! I’ve visited Montreal many times from Alberta, and it’s such a magnificent looking building.
are you kidding...it's a GIANT TOILET BOWL
It was never properly built..chunks have fallen from the roof during a trade show
It should have been demolished ages ago

I live in Baltimore, and visited Montreal 3 times, and loved the stadium, and I hope Montreal will get another team, so I can come back

Do it!
It should be, but keep the mafia contractors out of the mix.
U mean bring the mafia from alberta?
Impossible. The union has more power than Trudeau.
1976 glory? I was only 10 at the time but if memory serves, wasn't the Olympic Stadium unfinished when the Olympics started?
😅😅😅Blame the stupid Architect(s)..Fou, fou les joyeaux sont fou!😅😅😅
Bring back 😫 the Expos ! Recreate the new MLB team the Montreal MAGNIFIQUES.
This Stadium sucks. Such a terrible design. Was the main reason they lost their MLB team and almost bankrupt the city.
Ugly on the outside, surely a new permanent fixed roof would be best?
🤔🙂
