The Money Pit That Is Montreal’s Olympic Stadium | The Walrus

The Montreal Olympic Stadium, also known as the Big O, was built for the 1976 Summer Olympics. It has faced numerous controversies, financial problems, and has been considered an engineering failure. The stadium's retractable roof has been problematic, and it has a unique design with a leaning tower. Despite its challenges, the stadium continues to host various events and serves as a landmark in Montreal.
