The project was so immense and so corrupt that workers would arrive, clock in, leave and go work somewhere else, then come back at the end of the day and clock out. Concrete trucks would also arrive declare their load, drive around, come back and declare another load without ever unloading.

Reminds me of one of those emboss-type label makers where you turn the disc to the letter/symbol you want and squeeze the handle.

Big-O, looks pretty linear, maybe polynomial.

Does the roof retract for use of that high dive platform?
/s, what the heck is that? Looks like an air traffic control tower.

I’m fairly certain this is the escape ship for when the world ends in December…

Why do cities even allow the Olympics in, much less compete on who gets to host them?

One cool thing about the stadium is that every seat has a clear sightline to the field. There are no structural impediments causing obstructed views.
Unfortunately, unless it’s full, the ambience inside is terrible which is why the Expos left Montreal and the Alouettes moved to much-smaller Molson Stadium.

Worth noting that the inclined tower was not even completed in time for the olympics

I’m pretty sure it was called “The Big O” because it was the Olympic stadium. First time I’ve heard anyone say it was due to the shape.

In 8th grade, I went on a week long trip to Montreal & Quebec with my French class (I’m mid east coast USA).
This post reminded me that we went here…and I was terrified of the 50-foot deep pool. Our tour guide was doing her shtick and all I was picturing was me, a skinny little 13 yo girl, at the bottom of the pool, dead.
I think I had nightmares…and the weird thing is that I grew up on the water & still can’t live without it.
Thanks for the reminder, lol.
Seriously, it was an amazing trip. I’d love to go back to either place. 🙂

I’m a Montrealer born ans raised. Many of us call it Le bol de toilette géant, or The gigantic toilet bowl.
