Reviews determine Canada’s dirtiest stadium

Many Canadians have visited a sports complex for hockey, concerts, football, etc., but how clean are they really? And which are the worst for cleanliness?

The Grueling Truth looked into reviews focusing on keywords like “dirty”, “filthy”, “gross”, and more, to determine the worst of the worst.

Reviews found that the Canadian Tire Centre — which hosts the Ottawa Senators — has the worst reviews when it came to cleanliness.

Roughly 1.13 per cent of reviews complained about the stadium being “dirty” with many saying “sticky floors” and a “moldy smell.”

Reviews also indicated the Ottawa Stadium had the best reviews when it came to cleanliness.

Roughly 0.22 per cent of reviews cited cleanliness issues or complaints.

The Ottawa venue beat out BMO Field for top cleanliness honours and Telus Stadium came in third.
