Day -570. WorldCup2018
Leg 1 MLS Eastern Conference Final, Montreal-Toronto tomorrow, Tuesday. I would say kick-off is at 8pm, but this is the MLS so I'll expect it to start around 8.12pm.
A 60,000 crowd is expected in the Big O, Montreal's Olympic Stadium. Thankfully the roof will keep the snow and cold off the fans. However, the weather can still be a factor. The soft roof is considered unsafe if there is more than 3cm of snow accumulation on it. There was 5cm last night into this morning and another 2-4cm forecast. There have been a number of structural incidents at the stadium, one of which was snow and ice crashing through the roof on people preparing for a car show in 1999.
Thankfully, the heating system that melts the snow has done it's job and the game has been given the safety go-ahead. Next week they play in Toronto, outside. And it will be cold. Regardless of the weather this is going to be good.
