Percival Molson Memorial Stadium is a stadium owned by McGill University and is the home of the Montreal Alouettes and the McGill Redmen.Prior to World War I, McGill University authorised construction of a new stadium on the slope of Mount Royal, at the corner of University and Pine. 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 construction of the stadium. Other individual donors whose generosity built and renovated the stadium were William C. Macdonald, John W. McConnell. When it was officially opened on October 25, 1919, the Board of Governors of the university named it in honour of this fallen soldier.
The Montreal Alouettes have play most of their home games at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium on the campus of McGill University, since November, 1997.
