Stade Saputo

A few tips for your trip to watch the Montréal Impact play soccer at Stade Saputo:
— Take the metro (Viau is closest) instead of driving. Really convenient & cheap & faster than trying to get out of the parking lot.
— Call the stadium directly for tickets instead of calling Admission/​Ticketmaster. Cheaper prices and no service charge, plus special pricing for kids. Also, for $ 10 they’ll send you the tickets by courier if for some reason you don’t want to pick up the tickets at the stadium on game night.
— It’s gonna be LOUD. Enjoy the moment. We prefer to avoid the supporter’s section and admire them from afar. There will be pyrotechnics. There is a family section if you want to bring kids (though kids don’t necessarily have to sit there).
— Heads up if you’re in the first few rows. There is no netting to protect the crowd from flying soccer balls. For me, this adds to the fun.
— There are lots of varied food options inside but they’re all fairly pricey, so we always eat before the game. You can bring your own water in if you remove the lid from your water bottle at the gate.
— Team colours for the Impact are blue, white, black.
— The fans are not booing their own team, they’re crying «Buuuuuuuush» (the name of the goalkeeper).
Enjoy the game!

Pour avoir assister à des évènements sportifs au Stade Olympique et au Centre Bell, je dois dire que mes attentes étaient basses pour le minuscule Stade Saputo.
Quelle né fut pas ma surprise de trouver des sièges raisonnablement confortables mais offrant un espace considérable pour les jambes.
Étant donné la superficie du stade, la vue est excellente partout. J’avais un léger angle mort en coin d’environ 4 mètres carrés. Lors des rares moments d’action à cet endroit, l’écran géant corrigeait le problème.
Parlant d’écran géant, ou devrais-​je dire d’écran gênant, puisqu’il n’y en avait qu’un, le spectateur est plutôt tenté de suivre l’action sur le terrain plutôt qu’à la télévision. C’est fantastique.
La présence considérable de concessions alimentaires pour tous les goûts est aussi un plus. Ici, l’amateur de café peut avoir son café chez Tim Horton’s alors que celui qui aime les classiques peut déguster hot-​dog, pretzels et chips maison.
Excellent stade sportif, j’y retourne dans 4 jours et j’ai vraiment hâte!

I was brought here by some friends who a MLS match, I didn’t know what to expect since I am a big Chinese guy and they decided to sit right next to the Ultras, haha, what could go wrong right?
The stadium itself is of newer construction and reminds me of a large minor-​league baseball stadium. By they have all your needs, parking, right next to a metro line for public transport, food and beer stands. They have a beer guy that keeps selling beer until the final whistle, which is cool and dangerous. The fans were really cool, lots of energy, the seats were right on the edge of the stadium and it was easy in and easy out even when the stadium was sold-​out. You are so close to the stadium but there is only one jumbotron and no other screens like in other stadiums. But great vibe overall though.

I received a gift certificate from a family member and I was anticipating watching an Impact match. I have watched them for several years, well before they were an MLS franchise. All this time later I decided to take my little girl to her first professional match.
Stade Saputo is a fine soccer facility. I have sat in 3 different sections and the sight lines are great practically anywhere you sit. My daughter enjoyed the ruckus created by the UM’s and hopefully I will be able to be in that section next time. It is not necessarily family «unfriendly» but I have to do my inner hooligan justice and sing the chants standing up.
Montréal is coming along as a club, they defeated Real Salt Lake 3 – 2 off of an injury time winner by Matthew Ferrari. The atmosphere was ridiculous and my daughter cheered like crazy, she genuinely fed off of the energy of the crowd. Once I caught a paper streamer for her, her evening was complete. The great match was the cherry on top. Pics to come.
Merci pour le stade monsieur Saputo!
Tous pour gagner!

Arèné de l’Impact de Montréal de la MLS, le Stade Saputo est un endroit très bien conçu pour y regarder un match de soccer. Les gradins sont bien alignés. Ce qui permet aux spectateurs d’avoir une bonne vision sur le terrain, peu importe où ils sont assis. L’ambiance est garantie par la présence des Ultras qui hurlent, chantent et jouent du tambour pendant toute la durée du match.
L’endroit perd une étoile à cause du prix un peu exorbitant de la restauration rapide qui est offerte à l’intérieur. Pour un trio hot-​dog, fritte et boisson gazeuse, vous devez cracher 13.95 $. C’est carrément du vol, mais on se console en se disant que c’est 5 $ moins cher qu’au Centre Bell. On se console surtout en se disant que l’Impact offre un très bon spectacle depuis qu’ils jouent dans la MLS. «Allez Montréal Allez ! »
