To understand this stadium, lets start with the name... "Olympic Stadium" (not "Expos
Stadium"). That is because this facility wasn't really built for the Montreal Expos at all... at least not primarily. In fact Stade Olympic was indeed created specifically
for when this "European-North American city" was awarded the "incredible
honor" of being host to the 1976 Olympic games. That season of Olympic games
in particular would go down in history as one of the most famous and still talked
about Olympic games in the history of these sports dating back to its very beginning.
Its stars and Gold Medal winners all came to the Parc Olympique in Montreal
to set many new Guinness World Records. |
