Seven alcohol testing terminals will be made available at the stadium to test their alcohol level

Between 35$ and 44$.

The club did state, via Patrick Vallée (Director of Communications) that this initiative was not to solve a recurring problem at the Stadium but to enchance the experience at Stade Saputo.

Kudos to @impactmontreal for putting a service, like Nez rouge, to drive you home after the game if your too drunk to drive #imfc #MLS 1/2
