Canadian Football League Montreal Alouettes Olympic Stadium Postcard - MLB Expos

Description: OLYMPIC STADIUMMontreal's Olympic Stadium, located in the city’s eastern district, is an iconic multi-purpose venue built as the centerpiece for the 1976 Summer Olympics. Designed by French architect Roger Taillibert, the stadium is instantly recognizable for its futuristic look and distinctive inclined tower, the tallest inclined structure in the world. Initially constructed to host Olympic events, including the opening and closing ceremonies and track and field competitions, the stadium became a major part of Montreal’s architectural identity. However, delays in construction and design challenges led to skyrocketing costs, and the original retractable roof was not fully functional until the late 1980s. The stadium's final cost of over a billion dollars led locals to nickname it "The Big Owe."After the Olympics, Olympic Stadium became a home for major sporting events, including professional baseball, football, and soccer. The Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes played intermittently at the stadium from 1976 through the early 2010s. While they currently play most of their games at the more intimate Percival Molson Memorial Stadium, the Alouettes occasionally return to Olympic Stadium for playoff games or special events, taking advantage of its larger capacity to accommodate up to 66,000 fans. Olympic Stadium has also hosted Grey Cup games, making it a historical site for Canadian football fans.Today, Olympic Stadium remains a significant Montreal landmark, attracting visitors with its history and unique design, even as it contends with ongoing maintenance issues, particularly with its aging roof structure. The stadium’s complex legacy reflects both Montreal’s ambition on the world stage and the challenges of maintaining large-scale architectural projects.Unused 4" x 6" continental size chrome postcard.
