Commonwealth Stadium might be the largest in normal capacity, but the Olympic Stadium in Montreal seats over 60,000 when used for Football and Soccer.

[@trevorbrooks9637]

I've been to the five stadiums mentioned by name in Ontario and Quebec. BMO is definitely the best of those five. But travelling with TFC supporters to Saputo and making the fan march from the Pie IX station is probably the best experience. Although the "Miracle in Montreal" game where we made the march from the Olympic Stadium station was absolutely bonkers. There were over 1000 of us that night. For anybody that hasn't been to Montreal, right there between Olympic Stadium and Saputo Stadium is the Montreal Biodome (which I believe was the velodrome for the '76 Olympics) and that place is amazing. Definitely worth the subway ride.

[@therefdiegocostus7325]

hamilton outdoor stadium better than bmo field thats why world cup qualifiers was there :)

[@trevorbrooks9637]

@@therefdiegocostus7325 Even by your logic, the fact that 4 of 7 final round World Cup qualifiers were at BMO makes BMO far superior. The open ends in Hamilton and Ottawa make the stadiums feel like glorified high school stadiums.

[@thecheesecakeman]

Both Mosaic and Investor's Field look really good and surprised we don't play more Canadian Men's National Team soccer games there. They look way nicer than BMO Field or the larger Commonwealth.

[@trevorbrooks9637]

Neither of them are much bigger than BMO. BMO is currently 30k, Mosaic and IG are both 33k. Thing holding both them back is grass. Players prefer grass and there are enough studies indicating increased injury risk on artificial surfaces to justify those feelings.

[@thecheesecakeman]

@@trevorbrooks9637 changing turf to grass is just money but doable. But stadium amenities? The overall esthetic...compared to BMO field, just wow! Too bad Ontario had money for the SkyDome and let that thing rot to bits and become a ballpark instead (rather than build a proper ballpark). BMO field just seems cheap....

The only bad thing about SkyDome, really, is that Rogers are dumbasses and got rid of the unique name. They COULD have called it Rogers SkyDome and keep the cool part in it, but NO! THey have to go with lame-ass Rogers Centre, which is the same exact name as the arena the Canucks play out of! How many buildings named "Rogers Centre" do you FUCKING need!

[@mmilne17]

[@sportsmaster1364]

I'm an Edmontonian who loves Commonwealth. Sure, the seats are a bit far away, and at some point soon it'll need a BC Place-style refurb, but there's something special about an older building that seems to host just about everything (except the World Cup, screw you FIFA-) ahem, anyways, Commonwealth's definitely got a certain charm to it. ✨️

Alberta really only has 2 stadiums that COULD be contenders, the other being McMahon Stadium in Calgary, but IMO Commonwealth is just a bit better.

[@Seriously_Unserious]

Great video, as usual, though, with arenas being more commonplace in Canada, perhaps a best arena in every Province video could be looked into

[@PeBoVision]

Just to clarify, Hockey is indeed the most popular sport in Canada, and it has been Canada's "official" Winter Sport since the mid 1980's. Before that, our National Sport was Lacrosse, which still remains Canada's "official" summer sport (strange considering the box lacrosse season starts in December and ends in April, bypassing summer completely.) Luckily, field lacrosse starts just before box lacrosse ends, making us seem less insane for calling it our "summer" sport. Box Lacrosse, and basketball (also invented by a Canadian) both play their games in hockey stadiums, so omitting them was a less than ideal call, demonstrating a football bias that exists far less here (even though field lacrosse, American-style football, football and rugby are played in football stadiums, their revenues pail in comparison to basketball and hockey. We also have great places to play Baseball! Most of us, being obstinate as we are, continue to call Rogers Centre "Skydome" thanks to its retractable roof that actually works! (personally, I'm offended by corporate naming rights of stadiums built with taxpayer funds, so it will always be 'Skydome', a name submitted by a Torontonian in a contest. A plaque at the entrance stating; "Skydome is financially supported by Rogers Communications"' would be more appropriate.) Anyway, it's "Skydome" regardless of what Rogers wants us to call it. It's a smaller stadium (10,000 permanent seats and 2000 optional bleachers) but deserved more attention in your video if for no other reason than it's unique roof design, contribution to our skyline, and being home of the Toronto Blue Jays.

[@Seriously_Unserious]

How about if Rogers had called it "Rogers SkyDome" and kept the cool name in there? FYI, there's also a "Rogers Centre" in Vancouver - it's the arena the Canucks play in.

[@PeBoVision]

@@Seriously_Unserious Yup, I'm aware, and find it more than ridiculous that multiple cities, who each have their own historic figures to commemorate, have Stadiums named after the same corporate entity (Not as disturbing as a stadium named after a bank as in Scotiabank Arenas). Skydome is especially problematic, as it was acquired for pennies on the dollars of the cost of construction. Hardly warrants naming rights in my mind.

[@zororosario]

Thanks for the Canadian content, we do best with what we have 😊 Cheers.

[@JeffWaynee]

Commonwealth stadium is not the largest stadium in Canada. Olympic stadium in Montreal is with a capacity of 66,308, which is 10,000 higher than Commonwealth. You must have read the baseball capacity of Olympic to get the 56K number, but for football it holds 66K, and 61K for soccer.

[@coryshannon3815]

My favorite stadium in Ontario is still the Rogers Centre (I still wish it was called SkyDome), because of how loud the fans get in it during the MLB postseason. They definitely don't make it a welcoming environment for the opposing team, which is ironic considering Canadians are deemed polite.😁

[@kevwwong]

I can't wait to see how the interior looks after the reno.

[@trevorbrooks9637]

I like the Rogers Centre too, but I feel it is just too big anymore. Jays really only need about 40k seats, imo. Also, you almost need a Sherpa to get up to the 500 level. That's why I prefer BMO, you never feel too far from the field.

[@roywarriner8441]

I still call it "The Dome". F*** Rogers.

[@Seriously_Unserious]

I still remember the moment when it got loud in there. The year was 1992, and Dave Winfield told Toronto "Winfield Wants Noise" and the fans have been giving their Winfield of Dreams noise ever since!

[@Seriously_Unserious]

@@roywarriner8441 If Rogers was smart, they'd have at least kept SkyDome in part of the name, like Rogers SkyDome instead of ditching the best stadium name in the world and replacing it with centre, boring, plain dumb, ass old centre. We've got a Rogers Centre in Vancouver for fuck's sake. The Canucks play out of it! How many fucking Rogers Centres do we fucking need?!

Where did you get your information on Canada?

[@habitantcdn]

5:30 - two interesting things about TD Place in Ottawa. What you see is actually two editions of the stadium. The newer half on the Canal side and the much older half. Also, below that older stand is a former NHL hockey arena (still in use by a junior team). In this brief picture (5:30), you can make out a portion of the arched front facade of the arena on the other side of the street level building.

[@nickpaquette4657]

Not for long! The arena (and as a result of being and built literally on top of the arena- the stadium’s grandstand) are getting torn down and a new arena will be built on the open grassy part and finally a new grandstand will be built. Gonna miss the Civic Centre, grew up in that rink.
