My greatest reget is that I never had the chance to see them play in either Jarry Park or the Olympic Stadium.
Since the mid 1990s, I have been to about 7-8 Blue Jays games.

That's a shame... One of my dad's formative memories from growing up in Montreal was seeing Hank Aaron play at Jarry Park.
I think Jarry Park must have been a much better ballpark than Olympic Stadium ever was.
If Montreal does ever see a new ballpark get built to get the Expos back, I hope they build it at
Jean Drapeau Park, the former site of Expo 67.
Not only would the location be more fitting given the name of the team, it could have a spectacular view of the Montreal Skyline:
