About Olympic Stadium Montreal
Montreal's Olympic Stadium, known in French as Stade olympique, serves many purposes and sits in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve district, within Olympic Park. It was constructed in the mid-1970s and acted as the main venue of the 1976 Summer Olympics. Its nickname, The Big O, plays on its name and on the doughnut shape of the roof's permanent part. It is also disparagingly called The Big Owe, for the high cost of building it and of hosting the 1976 Games as a whole.
French architect Roger Taillibert designed the stadium with a retractable roof, meant to open and close using cables hung from a tall tower. Inclined at 45° and set into the stadium's northern base, the Montreal Tower was not finished until 1987 and, at 165 m (541 ft), counts as the world's tallest inclined tower. Its design is regarded as a masterpiece of the Organic Modern style, drawing on plant and animal forms. The 66-metric-ton Kevlar roof could not retract until a year after the tower and roof were finished, and it was opened and closed just 88 times.
For the 1976 Games the stadium held the opening and closing ceremonies, athletics, the football finals, plus team jumping in the equestrian events. A 1970 projection of CA$134,000,000 grew to CA$1,100,000,000 by the time it opened unfinished, and total spending reached C$1.61 billion. The costs were paid in full in mid-November 2006. The Montreal Expos baseball team played there until it relocated to Washington, D.C. after the 2004 season.

- Leaning tower and cables
- A tall inclined tower holds a fan of thin cables above the roof. Print friendly adapts these thin parts to the print scale; Full detail keeps every cable, which suits a larger print. Print slowly.
- A ribbed round roof
- Dozens of radial ribs cross the roof of the bowl. A bigger print keeps more of them, and layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep their edges crisp.
- One piece with the ground
- Olympic Stadium Montreal is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
