Archived from groups: alt>sports>baseball>montreal-expos (more info?)

Over the past two seasons, I've come to love the Expos and even
appreciate the Big O a bit. However, the canned, scratchy, poor-quality
music-box recording of "Take Me out to the Ballgame" they play at Stade
Olympique has REALLY grated on me.

It's a bad version of a classic song. Would the Expos please either get
a better recording or -- better yet -- bring back the classic organist?
One (I believe the original) was at the stadium for Fan Appreciation day
in 2002 and it was a great improvement.

Mitsou should do a strip-tease version of the song.

We're going to miss you once you mature.

Montrealers never learning? That's a redundant statement!

i don't even think that burgers are available inside SkyDome. Also, hot
dogs taste like old bicycle tires and cost about a hundred dollars.

Bring on the poutine!

Never tried that. When I'm actually getting a meal at the Stade, I
usually either have Mr. Smoked Meat or the Lebanese/souflaki place near
the ice cream stand.

SkyDome is the only place I've heard of McDonalds closing an outlet
because it wasn't profitable. Am I correct that Aramark has taken over
concessions in Toronto? If so, the food must be quite bland there now.

> Bring on the poutine!

Never had it at the Big O -- heard it wasn't great. On the rare
occasions that I've had the taste for poutine (maybe three times in my
life), I've gone to whichever location of Belle Province is nearby.
