Parents and fans had no idea what was happening on the ice. Even the players mentioned they couldn't see clearly. Then, the fog finally cleared -- but then the scoreboard stopped working! No time, no score, nothing. The kids were playing without any clue how much time was left or what the score was. Honestly, it felt a bit like a comedy show. It's hard to believe this is the official practice facility for the NHL Montreal Canadiens.

Not to be confused with Stade Maputo (which is in Mozambique) or Stade Saturn/Pluto, which must be…read moreeither on Neptune or up Uranus. Montreal is one of the great new teams, and Didier Drogba really turned them into a fantastic and powerful side. They're one of my favourites and they have an amazing Stadium, right next to the Olympic Stadium, named Saputo. I support them and always want them to do well. They play in a rich royal blue that is perfectly befitting of Montreal, and they have the Fleur on their kit as well. They represent Quebec perfectly. They made a big Impact in the league, if you don't mind the pun. I wish they would win the whole thing for the city of Montreal. So I'm a big fan. And Saputo stadium is one of the very best out there. But it gets very cold here in the winter make no mistake. Brrrrr. While they do have some issues - and I will say they are pretty big issues - with the pricing, with the organization of the stadium in terms of this part of Canada being very liberal and relaxed and French rather than efficient about getting people in and out and making sure everyone is taken care of, still the prices here are dirt cheap and the products are great and the team is amazing, and I just love the stadium and the beautiful view here, with the towering haunting Olympic Park right next to it, so I couldn't possibly give it less than five stars to be honest.

Would you like to see any kind of screen with info about subs or stoppage time? Would you like to get a rideshare or on public transit with older people who can't walk 15 minutes? Well, you can't do any of this at this Stadium when it has a big crowd. This place is simply not equipped or prepared to handle its own capacity. I am only not giving just one star because I support the growth of soccer in North America. Let's do better Montreal.

They have a large number of indoor courts for you to reserve. It will be more expensive than the outdoor courts run by the city but then again their operating costs are higher. Everything about the facilities is beautiful. There is a waiting area with tables and chairs where you can take a break, wait for your reservation or just watch the other matches going on. The locker rooms are spacious and clean. The courts are in good shape and there are nets between each one so if you make a bad stroke your ball won't travel too far. My only complaint is that the air is a little stuffy, but I imagine that it is hard to get proper ventilation in a large, open space such as this one. For those of us who don't want to pay for membership at private tennis clubs Stade IGA offers an excellent alternative to keep playing tennis when the outdoor courts close for the year. It is also well located and can be easily accessed by public transit or car.

There's also some exhibits about the history of the 1976 Olympic games, which this city seems to be overly obsessed about. Not sure if this is worth $23 alone, but entry is covered by the Montreal Passeport($99 for 72hrs), so it was worth it for me.

They have package deals where you can go to the observatory and the planetarium thing, but it'll cost you like $70 per person. Total waste of money since the Olympic park is boring.

Didn't see anything to clean any of the vr arcade, thus not very clean for that. There's a small bar and a small place to snack. The pricing is weird. You must buy a card and the type of card you buy can have extra credits. Weird thing, at the machine, if I take a 75$ card with 20% bonus it give me 45 bonus credit (but doesn't tell me how many credit 75$ give) and with the card and taxes, the total is 100$. If I go at the counter, there's 4 choice where one is 75$ with 60 credits for a total of 360 credits. Price of game range a lot. The little one cost like 6 credits while bigger like activate cost 26 per player, which is normal. I haven't visited an arcade for a long time so I'm unsure if it's a lot or not.

The Long Version: I was trying to find the Yelp listing for Cirque du Soleil in general, as many listings are of specific shows at specific locations. I think I've found the general listing here (in the city where it is headquartered). I've been to 3 Cirque du Soleil shows so far. My first was Volta, then Echo, and mostly recently Luzia. All have been fantastic. I'm in awe of the athletic prowess of the performers. Like these guys are balancing on one arm while dozens of feet in the air. There are days when I can't even balance on 2 legs on the ground, haha. They juggle, climbs poles, and literally jump through hoops. The acrobatics are sometimes done on moving platforms and on one show even on bicycles. The lighting, sound and props are so good as well. Every show has a contortionist, who freaks me out. I can never watch the entire contortion feature, I have to close my eyes or look away because I find it too creepy, lol. While the show is amazing, be prepared for tiny uncomfortable seats. I get it, the set up is portable and they also want to pack in as many people as possible to make the largest profit possible, but just be advised. You are literally up against and touching your seatmate the entire show, if you and/or they are an average-sized adult. If you're tiny like me and sit next to say a kid or another small adult, you may be spared of such close contact. The main tent is where the show is, but they have other connected tents where you can buy concessions and souvenirs. There are fun places set up to take selfies/pictures. There's also a VIP tent that VIP ticket holders can access. There's free (well, included in the price of your VIP ticket) food and drinks, and the port-a-potties there are more luxurious (yeah, never thought I'd ever describe port-a-potties as luxurious, but they flush and there's a sink and soap and they are relatively spacious). The VIP tickets are pricey but my husband won some VIP tickets through a contest with the Lac Leamy Casino, so that's how we got to have this fancy experience. All staff in the VIP tent were so courteous and helpful. Oh, with VIP tickets you also recieve a Cirque du Soleil branded souvenir. It's pretty cool how Cirque du Soleil essentially started out as buskers in the small town of Baie-Saint-Paul, QC in the 1980s and now has grown into a multi-million dollar company with shows that tour internationally.

They never disappoint and they are always a showstopper. I've watched several Cirque du Soleil shows over the past 20 years and one thing that keeps bringing me back is the talent, creativity and uniqueness of each how. Each show comes with a beautiful story and often, a strong message. They are well organized. There's some humor added. There is crowd interaction. The shows always give you a WOW factor because you can never expect what's to come. I strongly recommend this to anyone. Whether you've been before or planning to go for the first time, you won't regret it.
