Percival Molson Memorial Stadium

Percival Molson Memorial Stadium sits on the slopes of Mount Royal and features a multi-purpose field accommodating around 25,000 spectators. The facility includes training areas and modern spectator facilities alongside the main playing surface.

Built in 1914 and opened to the public in 1915, the stadium received its current name in 1919 to honor Captain Percival Molson, who died during World War I. This naming recognized his service and sacrifice for Canada.

The stadium serves as home for the Montreal Alouettes and hosts McGill University athletics programs. Local fans gather here regularly to watch their teams compete in regional championships.

The stadium is accessible via Pine Avenue West with parking available nearby and multiple entrances depending on the event type. Visitors should check ahead about current events and any access restrictions before arriving.

A running track circles the playing field, which narrows the end zones compared to other Canadian Football League stadiums. This distinctive setup shapes how the game is played here.
