A new lid for the toilet bowl.
What a waste of money.
My entire adult life has been plagued by this monstrosity's tax bill - such horrid design and to have entwined the stadium so completely in the rest of the local infrastructure so as to make it impossible to demolish...
Already billions spent on this - ..... and Edmonton built a stadium for 800 million - BUILT - no more costs - no budget overruns - no mafia making insane profits on the construction
Who cares? Let it rot. We can't feed our families!
Are Albertans paying for that too?
Is this stadium even being used ? No MLB , No FIFA , No NBA…
Probably why they want to renovate it
No, which is probably why theyre replacing it lol
@@xmalin1 Theyre renovating the roof. No mention of the stadium. Roof or no roof, the stadium is not attractive to any local teams
Isn't that an ABSURD price?
I know it's iconic, but sometimes we need to let things die...
It's criminal.... there's so many more important things we need to spend that money on.
Is SNC getting the contract? 😉
Is the roof made of gold?
We all know the final cost will be much more than $870 million and potentially more problems.
The Montreal mafia are very happy
Ya cause Canada needs that nowadays
Why not spend that money on something worthwhile, like Mirabel?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
they will someday return to Mirabel.
mirabel is being used for cargo plane so whats the point?
ugly architecture, wasteful "improvements"
1,000,000,000 to repair a piece of _______.
Cost to tear it down?
Not even $5,000,000.
But hey, it's in 🐸 town so the rest of Canada has to pony up.
As usual🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Expos can now possibly comeback which is a plus +.
I hope that the whole rooftop and the stadium interior renovations allow the MLB to add an expansion team for Montreal.
Meanwhile, Rogers Centre looks great with the new renovations and actually hosts a MLB team
This stadium is cursed. It cost a fortune to build, and now no one uses it but it's still going to end up costing another billion just to keep it operating. And you know it won't be the last time that happens.
Renovate the inside also and bring back the “Expos”
You've already spent a Billion dollars on the Big Owe
$870 MILLION!?! What about Montreal the city? School, Road, and city needs? "The Big Owe"!!!!!
0:10
$870,000,000,000,000,000
Another big tax bill that Alberta will be funding
Is Montreal going to host another World Olympic to justify this amount of spending ?
How to launder 870M:
I think the whole thing should be torn down even if it's expensive. Clean slate move on. However, if they must keep it up, why not renovate the whole thing inside like they are doing at the Rogers Centre in Toronto?
Why?
It was used forever.
Get rid of the whole thing build homes
Sooooo Expos coming back too ??..😃😃😃
What a waste of taxpayer money, if they want to save it, do it with private investors. Bring it down and build affordable housing.
The money to pay for this will come from English Canada.
If they can make it even remotely passable for baseball, then an MLB team will be in Montreal in no time.
Who's paying for this roof, on a 60 yr old spirts arena?
1976 is not that far back !
Expos return??
It’s like the Eiffel Tower???? Seriously?
There's a huge waste of money, but then again what to Quebecers know about money and how to spend it smartly!
Baseball is not coming back to this pancake ever.
Mtl's Olympic stadium looks like a giant toilet bowl, let's flush another billion $
That boondoggle should be razed.
Rumour has it that this time around, financing will be done by taxing vaping pruducts. 😂
Perhaps WE was the only organization capable of doing the job for a lower price. 😉
