Percival Molson Memorial Stadium (also known in French as Stade Percival-Molson; commonly referred to as Molson Stadium in English or Stade Molson in French) 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 and the McGill Redmen of the Quebec University Football League. The Selwyn House Gryphons high-school football team also play their home games at the stadium.
As a result of the $29,355,000 renovation project, the stadium grew from 20,202 seats to 25,000, 18 new private boxes were built, and the stadium’s state-of-the-art video board became a permanent installation. Percival Molson Stadium is the smallest football stadium in the CFL with a permanent seating capacity of only 25,012; New Hamilton Stadium (at 24,000 seats) will be smaller upon its 2014 completion.

“In their eyes I have seen
the pin men of madness in marathon trim
race round the track of the stadium pupil.”
