I was surprised to see how steady Montreal's attendance figures were up until 1984. I wonder what happened around that time. I know that the roof was added to Olymplic Stadium in 1987, but afterward they seemed to really struggle to average 20k per game and never got close to the 2 mil mark for a full season ever again, even during their good years.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Very interesting. It doesn't make sense, because around the time their attendance started dropping, they were putting a real exciting team on the field, with Andre Dawson and Tim Raines at their peaks.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
