Quebec Government Approves Interior Renovation for Montreal’s Olympic Stadium
The overhaul adds VIP boxes, premium spaces and upgraded concessions as Quebec aims to keep the venue open year-round and attract major events.
- On Friday, Quebec Tourism Minister Amélie Dionne announced the government has approved plans to modernize Montreal's Olympic Stadium interior, targeting 2028 completion with refurbished stands and premium spaces.
- This interior overhaul complements the ongoing $870-million roof project; The Olympic Park must negotiate with private partners over coming months to help cover seating and hospitality area costs.
- Major League Soccer club CF Montréal requires a winterized venue as the league adopts a winter schedule next season, but currently plays at the open-air Stade Saputo.
- "Quebec deserves a modern facility to host those tours," Dionne said, noting the stadium is the only venue in Eastern Canada capable of holding more than 50,000 people.
- Originally built for the 1976 Summer Games, the venue faced a 30-year debt; modernization efforts now aim to position the stadium as a driver of prosperity for Quebec.
