Percival Molson Memorial Stadium is home to the Montréal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League and the McGill Redmen of the Québec University Football League. The Selwyn House Gryphons high-school football team also play their home games at the stadium.

Construction was completed in 1914 on what was then known as McGill Graduates stadium, which was located on the slope of Mount Royal, at the corner of University St and avenue Des Pins. The stadium sat dormant through World War I with the cessation of football from 1914 to 1918. On July 5, 1917, Captain Percival Molson, a McGill University alumnus and sports star who had been instrumental in getting the stadium plan approved, was killed in action in France. His will left $75,000 to the university to help pay most of the total costs for the completion of the stadium. Other individual donors whose generosity built and renovated the stadium were William C. Macdonald and John W. McConnell. Designed by Percy Erskine Nobbs, the stadium was officially renamed in honour of Molson in 1919.

Address: 475, avenue des Pins O, Montréal, QC H2W 1S4
