Olympic Stadium, most unique :)

I hate Montreal's stadium it looks like 1970's trash. Skydome is the best and I couldn't imagin Vancouver with out BC Place but it's starting to need a reno.

I've always had a liking to the Saddledome, just love the inverted dome (or saddle) compared to most standard domes (ie Skydome).
But in terms of the interiour, I like Skydome the most. It's sheer size humbles you.

Best inactive stadium is the MLG. Historic, classical, and just plain beautiful.

Saddledome! I also like MTS Centre, BC Place, and the Skydome (in that order).

i think that the corel is the ugliest

On the outside, olympic stadium is the best. On the inside, ACC is the best.

As a biased opinoin I'll go with Taylor field... awesome atmosphere :D... but honestly I would put Montreal's Olympic Stadium at top-spot for looks; I love it. Then Saddledome and the Roger's Centre are tied for 2nd, with BC place coming after that.

u can't really compare an outdoor mega stadium to a hockey arena-stadium, it's different.

Gotta go with Rogers centre on this one, worlds first retractable roof.

a packed house at commonwealth on a late oct day is something to behold....think green bay.

You're missing GM Place!

What does MTS stand for?

^ Manitoba Telecom Services.

Stade Olympique

The Bell center!

The John Labatt Centre in London. Been here more times than any other arena. Seats 9,090 for hockey, and home to the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League, the 2004-05 Memorial Cup Champions!

if i could, i would change my vote to Labott.

Maple Leaf Gardens?

Though I've never been there, the MTS looks the best. Very nicely woven into its urbane location without screaming "look at me, I'm an anachronistic vision of the future!" or ignore me, I'm plain boring (and in the case of the Corel Centre in Kanata) or ugly and pink.

Don't get me wrong, I like our outrageous visions of the future and have a soft spot for the cavernous and dated Skydome. It's still a rotten place to watch baseball but it's great for what it is.

That's a bad shot of the Corel Centre.

Here's a better one:

^^Ahahahaha, is it true they don't allow TML jerseys in there?

Saddledome...Beautiful!!!

Olympic Stadium's design is still my favorite, followed by Pengrowth Saddledome.
I will always love Rogers Centre due to nostalgia. Air Canada Centre's nice, but I prefer Corel Centre. It's too bad it's so far from central Ottawa. MTS Centre looks pretty nice, I like how it's street presence is not too imposing. It's like that with Centre Bell in Montréal also. I'm not too big a fan of Commonwealth Stadium. It should be appreciated for holding so many people, but the design's just a little boring. BC Place is pretty nice too.

Maple Leaf Gardens is the shrine of all Sports and entertainment.....And people think it's MSG..HA..funny

Long live the old forum of Montreal...you will stay in my memories

JLC biotches! but seriously, its obviously the save on foods memorial arena

Who thinks MLG is MSG? You can still go to the Forum, to see a movie, eat a meal or buy electronics.

Here's a link to the John Labatt centre from london ont have fun!

does canada have a decent stadium to be proud of?

I think we could be proud of Skydome, though I suppose it isnt a true stadium which Canada has very few of. Commonwealth is clearly Canada's best actual stadium.

http://www.esks.com/media/images/Commonwealth%20Stadium.jpg

The stadium Vancouver is planning to build will be Canada's best stadium.

- 15,000-20,000 seats expandable to 30,000
- three sided venue with one side facing the ocean, mountains, and sails of Canada Place
- located in the waterfront of downtown
- multi-purpose: a public skating rink in the winter and beach volleyball courts in the summer, mainly used for soccer with real grass, outdoor bowl for the Vancouver Symphony, and venue for concerts.

Renderings next week when it's unveiled.

30,000 is a kinda smallish though, Commonwealth holds over 60,000 and can be expanded quite alot past that.

Windsor Arena. :|

^^Ahahahaha, is it true they don't allow TML jerseys in there?

We have people walking around with boomboxes playing the "Leafs suck" song there ;)

30,000 is a kinda smallish though, Commonwealth holds over 60,000 and can be expanded quite alot past that.

well this stadium isn't meant for the CFL or anything like that, it's more of a community and soccer specific venue. and when i mean "expanded", i mean permanent expansion. not temporary seating.

i believe Molson Stadium (i think that's the name) in Montreal is expandable to 30.000.

Montreal Olympic Stadium is the best here

I like Olympic Stadium is the best, imo. Corel Centre is the worst. An ugly building and it's in the middle of nowhere too.
