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.
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.
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.
