When I was last in Montreal this April, I had the good fortune to take a guided tour of the Olympic Stadium.
My ~~last~~ previous visit there was for the very last home game of the Montreal Expos.
While I felt a bit of nostalgia when we were escorted into the main stadium, standing on the sidelines overlooking the main playing and exhibition surface, I was also saddened by how few events now use the “Big O” nowadays.
It’s a wasted opportunity for the stadium to stand empty as often as it is, devoid of most professional sports and trade shows.
