How the fuck does any roof cost $870M? Did they resurrect Michelangelo to paint it?
The skydome cost $570 million back in the 80s

With 5.2B cost, 800M for the roof makes sense.
Huh, TIL. Had no idea it was such an expensive project.
The Montreal olympics were in 1976, and the stadium was finally done being paid off in 2006.
Yeah but the profitablity could be huge. The venue would allow major artists and events to be hosted there instead of Bell center.
The acoustics suck though
Really really bad. It was neat to see Metallica with 49k people. Would have been nice to hear them too.
There's no way to make a concrete behemoth like the Olympic Stadium sound good.
I mean, it's not much better at the Bell Center honestly. Sound quality is not really a reason why it's nice to go to shows there, it's the crowd and production. As soon as you're not in the speaker array zone (which is mostly right in front of the stage in the GA area), sound quality and fidelity drops drastically. So I think with maybe more of those arranged properly it could be close enough while still providing 4 times the ticket sales.
