## Resource

Quebec’s tourism minister just greenlit a $870M roof upgrade and major interior overhaul of Montreal’s Olympic Stadium—50 years after it hosted the 1976 Games—aiming to transform it into a year-round economic powerhouse. The revamp will bring fans closer to the action, fix acoustics, upgrade concessions and restrooms, and finally make the venue viable for mega-stars like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé. CF Montreal also celebrates the move, as the new schedule demands a covered stadium to keep the team in Montreal. No final cost for interior work yet, but private funding is eyed—though skeptics question if a giant arena can stay consistently packed.
