What if...

We regularly gathered Montrealers who don't have tickets for sporting events? Montrealers FAN-atic about local teams (Canadiens, CF Montréal, Alouettes), international events (F1, Tennis) and world events (Paris 2024 Olympics, World Soccer 2026).

What if...

We created an outdoor, temporary, safe and eco-responsible space to broadcast these live sporting events, in the image of our city, world-renowned for its music festivals and cultural gatherings.

What if...

This fan zone became the new attraction that downtown workers were waiting for to vibrate together outside office hours, before, during and after sporting events.

Who are we?

Go MTL Go is a collective of professionals capable of imagining, managing and deploying major event extensions in downtown Montreal.

A fan zone brings together and excites fans of sporting events who don't have the chance to buy tickets at the stadium or arena, or to travel to a major international event.

A fan zone is a temporary, outdoor structure that broadcasts live sporting events on giant screens, creating a festive, eco-responsible and safe space before, during and after the event.

A Fan Zone offers programming for local sporting events (Canadiens, CF Montréal, Alouettes), international events (F1, Tennis) and global events (Paris 2024 Olympics, World Soccer 2026), in conjunction with major event producers, promotional organizations, major companies and downtown merchants.
