  • The Montreal Forum: the Final Season?
    Palimpsest III: The Dialectics of Montreal’s Public Spaces Department of Art History, Concordia University The Montreal Forum: The Final Season? Rob Coles September 2010 Cynthia I. Hammond, ed. Palimpsest III: The Dialectics of Montreal’s Public Spaces Coles 1 As a site of identity for the multiple affiliations of the people of Montreal, the Montreal Forum represents much more than a hockey arena. Between 1924 and 1996, the Forum hosted thousands of events, from professional hockey, to rock concerts, circus performances, religious gatherings, professional wrestling and events of the 1976 Summer Olympics. In 1996 the Montreal Canadiens Hockey Club, the main occupants of the site, moved from the Forum to the Molson (now Bell) Centre. After the departure of the Canadiens was announced, many Montreal residents feared that the Forum would be destroyed. A huge public outcry to save the building ensued. The Forum was ultimately saved and transformed into an entertainment complex called the Pepsi Forum that incorporated some memorabilia from the site’s history into its design. With this attempt to keep the local affect of the Forum alive in mind, this essay asks why so many were opposed to the demolition of the Forum? Was the adaptive re-use of the Forum successful in capturing the essential and important aspects of the building for its fans? The Montreal Forum was a key site of expression and identity in Montreal not only for supporters of the Canadiens hockey team. For the city’s francophone population and fans of popular music, the Forum was also important. As this essay demonstrates, while the Pepsi Forum includes memorabilia in its interior design, important connections between the Forum and the rise of Quebec nationalism are only summarily represented, as is the impact of the Forum as a key music venue in Montreal; the “Forum Gallery”, a small museum located on the second floor of the building, is out of the view and spatial experience of most visitors today.
