Death, taxes and the stadium roof
CF Montreal had hopes of being able to play winter matches in the refurbished Olympic stadium, but when and whether this will ever be possible is still uncertain.

On the one hand, the new MLS schedule means the CF needs an indoor stadium (way more winter games). On the other hand, Quebecers should be fully on the hook to enable the Saputos to have a leisure project.

I’ve been on the pitch for soccer matches below freezing. Not too fun, but I wasn’t being paid what these guys are making. The Als can do it in November, the NFL does it in January, maybe they can handle a game or two in November (and, as they said, go on the road a bit). Baseball rains out, they can figure it out if we get a blizzard.
