From the article:
Among its options for the future of the stadium, the Quebec government is known to be studying its demolition, a project that would cost a further $500 million and be very technically complex.
Why would it be so expensive to demolish the stadium? I mean, I know you have to protect the surrounding buildings, but $500 million? That seems insanely expensive. Funnyhat 06:35, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
- Welcome to la Belle Province...

- Haha. Anyway I dont know if its true but It could be since theres a metro line running right underneath of it i dont think they could just drop the tower and let it crash down, maybe it could collapse the tunnel, also its a huge complex connected to the biodome with many animals in it, so maybe $500 million is possible.
A fourth replacement roof is being considered as of March 2006.
I do not know what that 4th replacement roof will look like, but I envision that roof as a retractable roof NOT like the first one. Jim856796 15:15, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

- On the news (CFCF) they said it was going to be a permenant concrete roof, so they could hold events in the winter, but they needed to reinforce the tower to carry the extra load, but no one wants to pay for it.
On the page it says that they sold the FieldTurf system for $1 million. If they did that how are they going to have anymore sporting events? Was the field turf not required?
[edit] Trivia Section
The sourced article (dated oct 2005) says that the Olympic Stadium would be paid off by the end of June. This one (dated today, July 17 2006) says "Montreal will finally see relief from payments on the stadium in a couple of months". Anyone know an accurate date?
[edit] Kevlar roof
Why is the size of the roof be specified as a length? Shouldn't it be an area, therefore in feet squared or meters squared? 70.52.7.54 17:36, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
