Stade Vidéotron is a baseball park located along the Lachine Canal in Montreal's Saint-Henri neighbourhood in Quebec, Canada.

The Expos temporarily played at Saputo Stadium until Stade Vidéotron was completed.
== History ==
After Robert Stainton's Stainton Enterprises purchased the Washington Nationals, Robert was granted an expansion team using the Nationals' name, logos, and other things to allow the Nationals to host the 2018 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. The former Nationals were relocated to Montreal, and briefly played at Saputo Stadium.
The stadium was built in front of the Canada Malting Silos. Stainton Enterprises renovated the factory and included it in the stadium design in an example of adaptive reuse. The silos and buildings host the team's gift shop, a Rodeway Inn motel, a Shangri-La Hotel, a CoCo Key Water Resort, a museum, and contain 12 water cannons designed to fend off protesters and demonstrators in case of controversy or riots.
=== Saputo Stadium for baseball ===
Saputo Stadium's Kentucky Bluegrass surface was covered up with LibertyMat grass protection mats for baseball games. After the mats were put over the surface, dirt and AstroTurf were put in to create a baseball field.
