If you go to the top of the supporting tower, there is a nice view of Montreal but it will cost you $16 for the trip. Check out the swimming pool inside while you are there, you can also join a tour if you would like more details. More

This olympic stadium has a very particular style, unique, and is really interesting to visit, specially taking advantage of the guided tour. That 40 minutes tour has an affordable cost (CAD 9 per adult), and gives you the possibility to know the history of this place and to see the olympic swimming pool and the stadium. The entrance is between... More

Olympic Stadium is not the best stadium for sporting event, but it is unique with its leaning tower and non-retractable retractable roof. The Montreal Impact are playing some of their MLS and Canadian Championship games here In 2012 (until the work done at Saputo Sadium is done). The views are pretty decent from everywhere in the stadium, though it can... More

Went to the Impact vs. TFC Major League Soccer game on April 7th. The old stadium is showing its age but the venue was pretty good for the MLS game. Security staff were excellent but the concessions were not very well stocked when it came to food variety. The charge of $7 each for a small cup of light miserable... More

The whole area does look very run down, and had very few people around. We took the short tour, which was surprisingly good for only $9. It was so empty that there were only 7 people on our tour. The guide was great and made the whole experience interesting. If you don't do the tour there isn't much to see... More

Was recently at the Big O for the Montreal Impact home opener against Chicago. A great time was had by all ant the game was a nail biter. It finished 1 -1 but could have gone either way. Of course the ref is to blame that we didn't win! lol It was nice to be back in the stadium and... More

Our summer Olympic left over. I think we are still paying for it. A pile of concrete that no one knows what to do with it. They should fill it with water an make a lake, but that 's my 2cents More

The Americans should train their astronauts there. It si deserted almost all the time. The amount of concrete is staggering and absolutely ugly. Avoid as there is absolutely nothig to see there, except one of the best poorly planned sport facility in the world. Has also the distinction of being one of the greatest corruption scandals in the construction business... More
