Just out of curiosity, WEHT the stadium that the Expos played in
anyway?? Is it still standing?
TIA.

I think they're almost finished with the consturction work on Olympic
Stadium, or Stad de Olypique, or whatever the French Canadians call it.
Geez, how long did it take them to complete the work on that giant
concrete
flying saucer? Well into the 90's, there was still work being done on it
that was supposed to have been done when it opened in 1976!
On TV it always looked like they were playing baseball in a mosoleum. No
wonder Dawson wanted out.
