Have to disagree with you there. Olympic Stadium: 1. Horrible location. 2. An unsafe embarrassment that was only recently paid off. 3. Horrible layout and sightlines. I hated the place. And I love my team.
The CFL's Alouettes left the Big O for a university stadium with less amenities but a much better atmosphere. They went from a franchise about to fold to a fixture in the city's core.
The 49,000 that come out to two meaningless Blue Jay exhibition games are also another strong indicator that the fans are there.
Expos merchandise is also still very popular.
Baseball can work in Montreal.
