🏟️✨ Montreal’s Olympic Stadium: Where Sport Meets Art

🌍 Meet the Stade Olympique (or Olympic Stadium to us Anglos)—a Montreal icon that’s way more than just a sports venue. 🏅 🏗️ Designed to Wow: 👨🎨 French architect Roger Taillibert drew inspo from a ship’s sails—hence that 175m-tall leaning tower. 🚢💨 🏆 Hosted the 1976 Summer Olympics, seating 56,040. Power and elegance? Check. ✅ 🌱 Green Side Hustle: Post-Olympics, they turned the basement into an ecological garden! 🌿 📚 Learn about sustainability while surrounded by plants. Eco-chic, anyone? 💚 ⚾ Sports Legacy: ⚾ Home of the Montreal Expos (RIP 2004). Now? Still hosts soccer, concerts, and more. 🎶⚽ 📸 Fun Fact: That tower? Tallest inclined structure ever. Physics? Nailed it. 🏗️💯 #MontrealTravel #OlympicHistory #ArchitecturalGem
