Recent Results Tues. I'm lucky enough to have seen ballgames in about 20 major league parks, including last Monday's Phillies-Expos game at Olympic Stadium in Montreal. Olympic Stadium is a typical 60s-70s concrete donut with artificial turf, with a few exceptions. For one, the top of the stadium extends over the seating area, so that the seats are covered from the sun and rain. For another, a large tower sticks up from outside the center field area, from which fans can get a good view of Montreal and its environs.
Bullpens are on the field down the lines.
Montreal is in Quebec, the primarily French-speaking province of Canada. As a result, the stadium is bi-lingual. Spoken announcements are made in French and English, as are vendor sales pitches. Not many cheers or even reactions to what's going on in the game. There are plenty of empty ones to bang.
