Montreal’s Olympic Stadium was supposed to be a symbol of national pride and global ambition. But what actually happened? From construction strikes and billion-dollar debts to falling concrete and failed roof designs — this stadium became one of the most expensive and problematic Olympic projects in history.
In this video, we break down the full 50-year saga:

💸 Why the final cost exploded from $120 million to over $1 billion
🚧 The never-ending renovations — and the $870M being spent right now
