The Olympic Stadium cannot be blown up, it would cost about 900 millions $ do demolish it.

I would consider Place Ville Marie more iconic that the Big O; with its cruciform shape and rotating beacon. Plus it's a symbol of a time where Montreal was the economic and cultural hub of Canada. Though its over 60 years old, still looks fresh and modern.
