From hockey games (Go Habs Go) to concerts (too many to name), my Montrealer self loves the Bell…read moreCentre. The atmosphere and energy of the crowd is always on a whole other level. With that being said, I think one of my only more "important" comments, is that if you're a female going to attend a concert that you know is more of a "sold out" kind of situation in terms of attendance, plan your washroom breaks ahead of time as best as possible. I tried my best not to need to use the facilities during our last visit for the Tame Impala concert but when you gotta go, you gotta go! Before I continue, I understand that there are a lot of people and there's only so much the venue could do but I almost wish they had replaced their popcorn stands with extra porta-potties or something. I was in line for the entire intermission of roughly 40-50 minutes and I almost thought the woman ahead of me in line wasn't going to make it based on how she was hopping in place. Meanwhile, our long line went past the men's washroom and we saw them going in and out in two seconds with zero line to wait. A lady who was desperate tried sneaking in to the men's washroom but they had a guard ensuring this wouldn't happen. For safety reasons, I'm glad they do this but it just shows how desperate some people were. So, ladies- let's maybe make a point of going as fast as we can for the sake of others waiting? As I stood in line, my partner was able to go to the washroom, get food, and come find me to wait with me for the remainder of my line time. I ate my hot dogs before I even got to the door opening for the washrooms (where the bathroom line continued with another 30 people that had been hidden from the hallway view). So if you think you're close to having your turn soon as you turn the corner into the hallway from the main area, think again. Besides this, watching a hockey game anywhere else does not compare. The prices for refreshments, food, souvenirs, etc are expensive but that's just the norm these days. I also recommend buying merch as soon as you get there rather than waiting during the intermission of afterwards. As long as you prepare yourself to spend a bit of money, and possibly wait in lines (which are not uncommon at big events), then I promise you, the memories are worth every second.

The arena itself isn't particularly well maintained. There is very limited seating on 2 corners of the ice but you wouldn't want to sit in there because A) the arena isn't insulated, and B) the plexi glass or whatever is so damaged over the years (unchanged) that you can't really see much of what's going on. This arena is quite overpriced for the quality offered, surely only survives due to it's somewhat convenient location.

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.

Adam and I arrived at around 2:30pm to enjoy the festivities and practices before our 6pm game. I got so much free swag it's insane. Shampoo, pop socket, pictures, food, keychain of a tennis ball, a little radio to listen to the audio commentary during my game, and drinks. The only thing I paid for was my lanyard to put my tickets in (it was $10! but I plan on using it next year too). There are so many booths with fun info, games, prized, screens, air conditioning, lounging areas, and so much more. During the afternoon games (1pm) it empties out and there are more seating options and the lines for everything are much shorter which is a plus. Food wise, I got the regular poutine to eat during the match and it was ok. It was a bit expensive but that's to be expected. Water is insanely expensive ($3.50). I didn't realize you could bring an empty water bottle to fill up but you can so keep that in mind. The only water fountains available are near the bathrooms though so I think they could improve on that. Games last pretty long if you stay for doubles. Lots of people leave but I loved seeing the differences in gameplay. Keep in mind if you are late to a game or late coming back from a break, they won't let you in until next break. People coming in and out and sitting down makes a lot of noise. I really loved my time here and I already can't wait for next year!

You can bring your own food, otherwise the food on site gets quite pricey if you go to multiple sessions. However, prices are often better there then the Centre Bell for example.

I was spending a long weekend in Montreal in early Autumn, when I visited the Parc Olympique. I am…read morea fan of the Olympics and religious about watching the events on TV and when possible attending an event, so I had to at least see the venue. Parc Olympique was the site of the 1976 summer Olympics. These are the Olympic games that propelled Nadia Comaneci to stardom. The venue is known for it's tower which is set at 45 degrees and affords a view of the Montreal skyline. It is 165 meters high. Presently it is closed because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Note that when admission is possible it is closed on Mondays. The cost to climb the tower was $15 and if you add the cost of stadium parking $20 people hesitate to visit. Days when traffic is light you will be able to find street parking close by. Besides climbing the tower you can see the the Olympic size swimming pool which is still used by the Olympic diving and swimming team.. The 5 five rings of the Olympics are still up including the medal stand. The Biodome which replicates the four ecosystems found in the United States requires a separate admission cost. The Planetarium is adjacent to dome is worth seeing. Across the street, Maisonneuve Park is home to the Montreal Botanical Garden and Insectarium. Saputo soccer Stadium can be found here as well. The bottom line is that I would not recommend Parc Olympique for everyone but it was interesting to see for me since it is only a 10 minute drive from downtown Montreal and is a unique dome.

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.

I am only not giving just one star because I support the growth of soccer in North America. Let's do better Montreal.
