Fifty years after the Games, Quebecers still spending on Montreal’s Olympic Stadium
The new roof will cost $870 million, last 50 years, and nearly triple stadium revenue by enabling year-round use, officials said.
- The Canadian Press reported the Quebec government will spend $870 million to replace Montreal Olympic Stadium's roof, with the government saying it will allow year-round use and nearly triple revenue.
- The stadium's damaged roof was torn in more than 20,000 places and engineers say the original design by French architect Roger Taillibert made it unreliable in Quebec's climate.
- Crews are installing the technical ring, raised in 38 segments to house ventilation, lighting and a new sound system, while building the roof on towers using prefabricated parts up to 50 metres, then hoisting it to the inclined tower and massive supporting cables.
- Project managers said the roof replacement is on schedule and on budget, expected to finish in 2028 with a 50-year lifespan.
