Financed with private funds at a cost of $17 million, including a $7.5 million contribution from the Saputo family, Stade Saputo is completely changing the reality of the Montreal sport landscape and the Impact, as it finally allows fans to experience their favorite sport in a stadium entirely dedicated to soccer, a first in Quebec. Initially built with a capacity of 13,034 seats, the stadium opens its doors on May 19, 2008 for the opening game of the 2008 season against the Vancouver Whitecaps.

After winning the first match of the series against their Canadian rivals, the Vancouver Whitecaps, on October 10 at Swangard, the Impact hosted the crucial match of this final series on aggregate. Already in a good position, the Impact didn't hold back, securing a second victory of 3-1 in front of a full house of 13,034 spectators. Tony Donatelli, Joey Gjertsen, and Roberto Brown scored in this historic victory, allowing the club to lift their third Championship Series Cup.

The local MLS home opener. While the stadium expansion was underway, the team played six matches at the Olympic Stadium and a few away games. But the wait was worth it, and in their first match in the renovated stadium, the Impact defeated the Seattle Sounders 4-1. Felipe, Wenger, Mapp, and Bernier all scored in this historic victory.

An unforgettable evening. In his first MLS match with the Impact, Ivorian striker and designated player Didier Drogba scored a hat-trick, igniting Stade Saputo. Trailing 2-3 at the hour mark, the Bleu-blanc-noir turned the game around and ultimately defeated the Chicago Fire 4-3 in an electrifying atmosphere.

The Montreal Impact became the first Canadian team to win a Major League Soccer playoff match by defeating Toronto FC 3-0 at Stade Saputo and qualifying for the Eastern Conference semifinals. Patrice Bernier, Nacho Piatti, and Didier Drogba were the scorers in this historic victory at Stade Saputo.

In front of 12,000 spectators at Stade Saputo, with attendance limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic, CF Montréal triumphed over their rivals Toronto FC 1-0 thanks to a goal by Romell Quioto, securing their fifth title in the history of the Voyageurs Cup after 2008, 2013, 2014, and 2019.
