Olympic Stadium
Montreal Expos
Olympic Stadium hosted the Montreal Expos for 28 seasons after the 1976 Summer Olympics. Its iconic inclined tower — the world's tallest inclined structure — and retractable roof (which rarely worked properly) made it one of baseball's most visually distinctive venues. The Expos departed after 2004, and baseball has not returned to Montreal.
