I think a big reason why Olympic stadium has sucked so much for professional sports is the multi-use stadium set up. It's bad for baseball, and it's bad for football and soccer.
If they got rid of the ghastly scoreboard wall and completely reconfigured the lower bowl of the stadium for rectangular sports, I think it would be a night and day difference in terms of the atmosphere.
No way an MLS team or CFL team in Montreal is going to fill up a 56,000 person stadium unless it's the Championship game or Lionel Messi is in town.
However, they could certainly reconfigure the lower bowl to make the place look a lot less empty for CFL games and MLS matches against less popular sides.
