What's happening with this abandonment?
I'm curious. I was in Montreal about a week ago and I'm surprised nobody on uer has been making more of a fuss. This is an intensely established monument, ripe for the picking. Anybody interested? Who knows how to gain access. I'd rather not get caught with jimmying tools because of job security and such. I would rather find an alternate entrance, any ideas?




There are places I've been, and places I want to be but nowhere I won't go.

The tower is abandoned, the stadium itself is still partly used (about 10 times a year).
If you truly want to gain access, PM me.

Until recently I worked there, and I can confirm that it is at most used 20 or 30 days a year. Maybe big events like Salon des Vehicules Recreatifs book it really in advance to be sure they have time to mount the stands and such, but usually they were too out way before the time they were supposed to.
The place is really underused. Could definetly have a higher occupancy rate.

As for the tower, well it was never occupied since its completion in 1985. The 2 top floors are used as an onbservation deck. The other 30 floors or so are empty.

Born and raised in montreal... I have yet to go up there. But now that I know there's an illegal way to go up I'm not sure if I want to go legitimately!
