THE STADIUM IN A NUT SHELL

The Saputo Stadium represents a turning point in the history of the sport in Quebec, as well as the next logical step in the promotion and development of soccer in the province, which is also the Montreal Impact’s main mission. It will host all Montreal Impact home games, as well as other soccer events, including regional, provincial, national and international matches. With its unique setting thanks to its accessibility and significant sports legacy, the Saputo Stadium will transform the fans’ experience during games.

The Builders of the Saputo Stadium

In the construction project of Saputo Stadium, three major partners teamed up with the club to demonstrate their commitment towards Quebec soccer during one of its most historical and significant moments.

La Cage aux sports, Metro and Maple Lodge Farms have become the Saputo Stadium Builders. La Cage aux Sports, a new Impact partner, is the exclusive food concessionary of Saputo Stadium. Furthermore, la Cage is also responsible of the catering service in the corporate boxes, corporate marquees, as well as during all Impact VIP events.

Metro, also a new Impact partner, animates the “Metro East grandstand” and also takes part in the club’s public practices. Maple Lodge Farms is a longstanding partner of the Impact, ensuring a presence in many community-related events held by the club. Maple Lodge Farms is also the offi cial sausage provider of the Impact, which is served each year to thousands of fans.

More than establishing a partnership with the club for many seasons to come, the Saputo Stadium Builders have built with the Impact the stadium that will become the flagship of Quebec soccer. La Cage aux sports, Metro and Maple Lodge Farms are now part of the province’s soccer history: together, we’re building for the future.
