Stadiums are phasing out paper tickets, but some fans want them back

Josée Tellier still remembers the first-ever Montreal Expos game she ever attended.It was May 13, 1986, against the Cincinnati Reds, in fourth grade, on a class trip. The Expos won, 4-2. Tellier remembers her hero, Andre Dawson, getting a hit. She remembers feeling cold sitting in the shade — before the days of Olympic Stadium’s retractable roof — and feeling the sunshine on her skin as the shadows shifted throughout the afternoon.Advertisement
