Stade Percival-Molson is an outdoor football stadium located downtown on Mount Royal in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is owned by McGill University and is home to the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League.
Percival Molson (1880-1917) was a Canadian star athlete and soldier. After an outstanding sports career with McGill University, Molson joined its administration.
Molson died fighting in World War I. In his will, he donated funds for McGill to build its football stadium, named Percival Molson Memorial Stadium in his honour.
Construction was completed in 1914 on what was then known as McGill Graduates stadium, which was located on the slope of Mount Royal.
Molson Stadium has been renovated and expanded, adding nearly 5,000 seats in time for the 2010 CFL season.
The only Grey Cup game to have been played at Molson Stadium was in 1931. It also served as a venue for field hockey during the 1976 Summer Olympics.
