Hey , I've agreed with everything you've been saying in this thread , except for this part.......I really struggle to understand how a city that is a global hub for artificial intelligence, aerospace, software engineering, service industries, the arts to name a few (without even getting into key Canadian companies that hold a stronghold here) wouldn't have the corporate money to back a team. It's absurd on its face.
Not that I think it means a ton but the pre-season games played in Montreal yearly have clearly been a resounding success as well.
We both know what the issue is when it comes to big money in Quebec and Montreal ,
I'm bilingual , french first , and love my city....but we both know why money isn't coming in here like it is in Ontario....
I think Basketball could work one day in Montreal , but are you advertising in french? In english? In both? That's the issue , why would anybody open up that can of worms when they can go somewhere else with similar economic value. Its a little easier with the habs and hockey when you have a 100 year bilingual head start instilled inside the city's culture lolMontreal has 3 major league sports teams. Of which 2 of them have been drowning for a long time, and we already lost a MLB team that nobody went to see.
Do you believe investors are lining up to make the worst decision in their lives by investing a billion dollars in Montreal for sports?
