Home venues in Ticket Timeline's game data
Buildings the Expos called home in the attendance data Ticket Timeline uses—useful when an old ticket names a former ballpark from the Montreal years.
Coverage in Ticket Timeline's game data starts in 1969, the year the Expos joined MLB as an expansion franchise. Jarry Park Stadium hosted 1969 through 1976; Olympic Stadium hosted 1977 through 2004. Home games at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan in 2003 and 2004 are not listed as a separate venue in that data.
If your ticket says Jarry Park or Jarry Park Stadium, that is a different building from Olympic Stadium—not a rename. Stade Olympique is the French name for Olympic Stadium. Later Washington ballpark names belong on the Nationals page.
The franchise relocated to Washington in 2005 and became the Washington Nationals. Expos nights stay in this archive; Washington nights belong on the Nationals page. Those Nationals are not the Washington Senators—two earlier Senators clubs became the Minnesota Twins and the Texas Rangers. Gary Carter, Andre Dawson, Tim Raines, Pedro Martinez, and Vladimir Guerrero were the names most associated with the Montreal years.
The 1981 strike-split season produced Montreal's only postseason: a National League Championship Series that ended on Blue Monday, October 19, 1981, when Rick Monday's ninth-inning home run sent the Dodgers to the World Series. In September 1991 a 55-ton concrete beam fell at Olympic Stadium and the Expos played their last 13 home games of that year on the road; the Kevlar roof had already torn in a June 1991 windstorm. In 2003 and 2004 the club also played 22 home games each season at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan—those nights are not a separate home in Ticket Timeline's venue list.
The Montreal Expos hosted MLB games at Jarry Park Stadium from 1969 to 1976 and at Olympic Stadium from 1977 to 2004, both in Montreal, QC, Canada. Dates for those nights are anchored in Eastern time. The building list above is what Ticket Timeline uses when an older ticket names a former ballpark.
