The league with the biggest football star in history is doing just fine...
It's just too bad that they call it a soccer league, when most of the teams
call themselves football clubs.
The CFL and the MLS just are not comparable leagues... many MLS clubs are worth upwards of a billion or more. The entire CFL isn't even worth a single billion.

The Biosphere is often used to represent Montreal too.
I think Olympic Stadium deserves a proper renovation... and a football/soccer specific renovation makes a lot of sense.
However, what wouldn't make sense is for the stadium to simply sit for most of the year, while the Montreal Football Club of the MLS plays their games at Saputo Stadium with Olympic stadium in the background.
They
were able to install grass at Olympic Stadium for a single friendly versus AC Milan ... and once they have the roof situation figured out, they should also be able to figure out solutions to have real turf available for MLS games.
I don't think it makes sense to spend all this money on refurbishing Olympic Stadium if it's only going to be used sporadically. Montreal's Olympic Stadium has the potential to be the biggest and best football/soccer stadium in all of Canada.
