In a nod to the Quebec climate, the Montreal Impact plays its early-season home games indoors under the roof of 40-year-old Olympic Stadium.
Crew SC will play in the former home of the baseball Expos today for the first time.
“Obviously, it’s an historic venue,” said Crew defender Tyson Wahl, who played part of the 2012 season for expansion Montreal.
“They have a good atmosphere when they play there, but it’s a really eerie and strange venue,” Wahl said. “It’s dark, and there are some random gusts of wind somehow. I’m not even sure how that’s possible.
