Yes, the Big O was shitty, and so is Rogers Centre. Those two buildings were built with utility in mind, not aesthetics. I remember how cool everyone thought Skydome was until Camden Yards opened, and that's what a ballpark should be. Any ballpark in Canada has to have a roof due to the colder, wetter weather, but places like Safeco show how it should be done. Even with the roof closed natural light still gets in.

I will only say that Olympic Stadium was a shitty place in which to put a baseball team. Had they put the Expos, after Jarry Park, in a more centralized location, and with a decent(not elaborate or flashy, but adequate, at least) stadium, things might have turned differently.
