I thought you were going to say a statue of a pregnant Drapeau...wait for it
Actually surveys have shown that people regard it as a symbol of the Montreal skyline. I think it is now thought of for the most part as positive and only negative by those who have a axe to grind.
A roof will help greatly allowing for year round events, as does the positive aspect of having a large enterprise in the structure. The pool has been refurbished and holds events so I'd say things are looking up. If they could somehow scale it down to half the capacity things would be even better.
So the tower part of the structure looks good, the aquatic centre looks good, just the main stadium itself needs an upgrade.
