slapshot Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 How was is to watch a game there? Looks like the seats & sightlines aren't bad. I think ESPN actually said it wasn't a bad place, if you look beyond the sea of empty seats and the fact it looks like a big toilet bowl.

Korkie Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 One reason to miss the Expos is the time-capsule effect of Olympic Stadium. The old logos on the outfield wall remind us of the good old days: the mid-to-late 90s.

CC97 Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 How was is to watch a game there? Looks like the seats & sightlines aren't bad.The view isn't bad, it was weird sitting that close but being that high (I couldn't even see the batter on deck for the Marlins)Problems lay in the front rows with glass being in the way, it's like watching hockey. Also sitting out behind the homerun fence in the front row (or first row of the yellow seats around the stadium) because there's glass right in your face, and an aisle for people to enter is right in front of you. You always either have glass, or people in your way. Hey what hotel was that? What? no view from the tower?The hotel was in Cornwall, Ontario; we tend to stay there whenever we go to Montreal, before he passed away my grandfather lived there so that city is sort of our home away from home.I went up the Tower once in 1991, not sure why I haven't since. If I'm ever there for whatever reason, I'll head up there again! --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Survival79 Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Excellent pictures. It is fitting that most people look like they are at a funeral because that stadium looks like a coffin.

Swiss Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Very good and personal pix... Hey CC, how did you go to Montréal? Car, bus or train?I saw a Canadian map in Encarta... your hometown is almost 450 kms far from Montréal.
