Dumbest shit I’ve seen in a long time

You can build a brand new stadium for that price. Holy f***.

Some politician(s) are no doubt getting their palms greased in this deal.

They haven't had a main tenant there in 20 years, do they even use it for anything? I would assume concerts and bad acting (WWE)?

What is that? $646m USD? I'd assume you can't build a new MLB stadium for that...
(Atlanta's was $722m USD and that was in 2017, when the cost for a permanent roof in Montreal was $250m CAN).

But I definitely can't accept that adding a permanent roof for that price is the smartest decision for that building.

How much would it cost to tear down the roof, the upper deck and anything else that stands between turning that into a legit, modern, MLB stadium built onto the foundation? Surely a lot of the infrastructure there could be kept, space reallocated and build a new suite-level on up...

Revamping Molson stadium into a MLB configured Stadium would it work?

Wouldn't it be cheaper in the long run to just tear the thing down? I doubt there's a lot of sentimentality towards the thing.

It would cost about 2 billion to tear it down. Part of it of the reason is a metro line runs directly underneath.

Plus there are occupants in the inclining tower that would would need to be displaced.
