Montreal Impact won’t open MLS season at home

The Montreal Impact won’t be opening their first Major League Soccer season at home. Instead, they will play at the Olympic Stadium. 

The team hoped to play the first few games in the expanded Saputo Stadium. The government gave them twenty-three million dollars for the project, but the team wasn’t able to find a builder on time. The Montreal Impact president says this is because the cost was too high. He says they’re still trying to stay within budget. 

The project is now set to complete in the summer of 2012.
