MLS Impact de Montréal

Yeah, Despite the surroundings the atmosphere of the place was really great.

 

I figure covering up the concrete and getting better grass would go a long way in making it a good stadium.

Wow! Le stade est vraiment spectaculaire quand il est rempli!

Cette photo fait juste confirmer qu'il ne faut absolument pe détruire, mais plutôt le "rajeunir" un peu! Un toit ouvrant reste la meilleure chose!

Je suis bien d'accord.

[gelu88]

oui, Montreal a vraiment besoin d'un grand espace ferme.

 

Mais je ne pense pas qu'un toit ouvrant est possible, car le structure n'est pas assez forte pour un toit style Toronto.

 

Je sais pas si $300 million de SNC est legit, mais je crois qu'un toit permenant est la meilleur idee.

 

Mais des renovation interne et du landscaping dehors est vraiment nessesaire.

En fait, les dernières idées que j'ai entendu à propos d'un toit rétractable parlaient d'une structure indépendante au stade pour soutenir le toit. Le poid du toit reposerait sur cette structure plutôt que sur le stade lui-même.

It is to be noted that the grass used for those games was real grass and not fieldturf like they used for the Grey Cup or during the last years of the Expos. And we all know what we need to grow real grass, sun and water, and with no retractable roof, it’s impossible, unless you go for a system like the University of Phoenix stadium in Arizona where the playing field slides in and out of the stadium.

[gelu88]

Given the wide range of uses a renovated and safe olympic stadium would get, I don't think a cost benefit analysis really favors a retractable roof.

 

Is Montreal really ever going to host a Fifa world cup? Are we ever going to get another olympics? Really?

 

And while i know astroturf is not as good as grass, im certain that no team will decline to play at the stadium just because it has no real grass...

 

I simply do not think we can afford the extravagance of retractable architecture, which is what it is in every sense, a extravagant luxury.
