In more realistic news. Looks like they also want to build a hotel and conference centre.
Negotiations underway for CF Montreal move into potentially ‘world class’ Olympic Stadium: report

More intensification/activation of the area surrounding Stade Olympique is going to be good for it. I have walked around the area before (went to a CF Montreal game at Stade Saputo) and something needs to be done with the windswept concrete plaza on the south side of the complex. I think a complete reconfiguration of that area with a hotel/conference centre would be fantastic.
Big question will be what happens with Stade Saputo if CF Montreal moves into Stade Olympique. I would like to see it remain in use by the CPL/NSL as suggested in the article.
