  Olympic Stadium (Montreal) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Montreal's Olympic Stadium (French Le Stade Olympique) was the main venue of the 1976 Summer Olympics and was the home ballpark of Major League Baseball's Montreal Expos from 1977 until the franchise was moved to Washington, DC after the 2004 season.
Olympic Stadium was remodeled in 1991, with 12,000 seats being removed for Expos games.
The stadium is directly connected to the Pie-IX metro station on the Green Line of the Montreal Metro.

 Olympic Stadium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Olympic Stadium is the name usually given to the big centrepiece sports arena of the Summer Olympic Games.
Traditionally, the opening ceremony and the track and field competitions are held in the Olympic Stadium.
In addition to these, there are other stadia called Olympic Stadium around the world, which have either been built as part of a prospective bid for the Games (Atatürk Olimpiyat Stadyumu, Istanbul and Estadio Olímpico de la Cartuja, Seville) or have simply been named that way (Olympic Stadium, Ashgabat).

 Historic Evolution and Urban Planning Typology of Olympic Village   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Olympic urbanism would thus be incorporated on many occasions into ambitious urban development programmes and architecture would equally serve the project, guaranteeing the functionality of the facilities and of spectacle, too, as an added value.
In Rome, Tokyo and Mexico, the Olympic operations fell within in the regional urban area and sought its articulation, whereas Munich and Montreal were two initiatives that reinforced the very centre of the city,(31)with avant-garde architecture as urbanism's support.
With regard to the Olympic Village, the main conclusion drawn from the various meetings held between 1965 and 1975 was the conviction, on the one hand manifested by the post-Olympic under-use of Villages as in Tokyo's case, that the Village should fulfil a dual function.

Along with Omiya Stadium and Tokyo National Stadium, therefore, it represents a piece of history, as the place where football interest in Japan was born and nurtured.
Though the years have passed this stadium by, and it no longer is used by any professional teams, it retains a very interesting architectural and inspirational character that is missing from many of the newer facilities in Japan, despite their high-tech features.
One side of the stadium is bounded by unique triangular walls, which not only give the stadium its unique architectural feel, but also double as roofing sections which sheild fans from both wind and rain (though only those sitting in the upper tiers of the main stands).

National Stadium, in Tokyo, is the "grand old man" among soccer facilities in Japan.
Although it is not a particularly good stadium in terms of proximity to the field, the design is nevertheless very appealing, and it makes a very attractive venue.
Note: National stadium is not the official home stadium of any team, but many play "home" matches here, including not only the two Tokyo teams, but also teams from the surrounding prefectures, such as Urawa Reds, Yokohama Marinos, JEF United Ichihara and Kashima Antlers.

"The roof of the main stadium and indoor arenas for the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, designed by Günter Behnisch with Otto [Frei Otto] as roof design consultant, realized an entirely new scale for this type of structure, and led to the pioneering of purely mathematical computer-based procedures for determining their shape and behaviour."
But at Munich the scale was tremendous, involving the erection and linking of varied amoeba-shaped tents: the major areas covered included the main stadium, on one side only, linked to the arena and the swimming area, both wholly covered.
The roof covering the main stadium consisted of a PVC-coated polyester fabric suspended on hangers independent of the cable net.
