Ever wondered just how clean our beloved NHL stadium really is? Well, buckle up, because the sports podcast The Grueling Truth did some sleuthing, analyzing more than 200,000 Google reviews to sniff out the dirtiest and cleanest venues in Canada.
Seems like our home turf isn’t scoring high in the cleanliness department. Yup, the Canadian Tire Centre, where our Ottawa Senators do their thing, got slammed with complaints about sticky floors and a musty smell. Not exactly the kind of hat trick we were hoping for!
But hey, it’s not all grime and gloom. Turns out, Ottawa Stadium, home of the Ottawa Titans baseball team, looks as clean as a freshly raked pitcher’s mound, leaving others like TD Place trailing behind.
Next time you’re cheering on our teams or rocking out to a concert, maybe pack some extra wipes. Let’s keep our Ottawa venues sparkling, folks!
