Excerpted from Wiki on our famous Blue Bonnets:
Future redevelopment

City officials have announced that they want to use the land for residential housing. Plans for redevelopment have been on hold, however, when the site became reserved for U2's two-night rock concert originally set for July 2010, but ended up rescheduled and took place on July 8 and 9, 2011 during their U2 360° Tour. $4 million was spent on a temporary open-air stadium which accommodated over 80,000 people. With the concerts over, the stadium is currently being demolished and will require a month to complete (reportedly by August 15, 2011).[4] Development plans have become unclear; complications arose when the Quebec government put the land up for sale for $100 million. It was rumoured that the land would be donated back to the city following the concerts.
