The Olympic Stadium and Montreal's 31-Year Burden 🏅

🌟The Olympic Stadium has an interesting nickname: the Big-O. 🥺 It’s a pun with a bit of a sting to it. On one hand, it refers to the stadium’s shape, which resembles the letter "O." On the other hand, "O" sounds like "owe," and Montrealers still can’t forget the 31 years of debt they carried because of it. 🌿 In the history of Olympic financial losses, Montreal seems to always be forgotten. 📍 Everyone remembers Greece going broke, but no one recalls how hard Montreal tried, thinking that throwing money at it would bring glory. 🥺 This colossal structure, like a horn piercing the sky, still stands today. 📍It didn’t bring Montreal the success people hoped for. Instead, it left a 31-year, $1.5 billion debt and a lingering sense of desolation in the details.🌟 The leaning tower remains, telling a story that’s either ironic or magnificent—depending on how you look at it. 🌆 🏅#Montreal #Olympics #FinancialLoss #LifeInMontreal
