Montreal's Olympic Stadium roof is getting a $870M replacement

A new location for bicycles competitions would have to be built because the original one has been modified to host for exotic animals and plants (called the BioDome).

All the other locations are still operational except for the Montreal Forum, now a cinema and restaurants upgraded building, but the NHL Canadiens venue is available as a replacement.

Besides... effing criminal ICEholes are nowhere to be seen around the city...
