Montreal Alouettes

Even tho it was cold and rainy it was a wonderfull family afternoon at the game. Fans at the game are crazy and the feeling you get when cheering for your favourite this is unforgettable. I sure do will returne to another game soon. Hopefully next time they will win for their fans.!

Great place to see the game. Wonderfully integrated with the campus. Only real complaint is the quality of the scoreboard.

We were visiting Montreal from the States. Really enjoyed our first Canadian football game. The game was fast-moving and exciting - more so than American football. The stadium was newer, very clean, with more space per seat than most bench seating. Lovely setting at McGill College with nice view of the city of Montreal. The game appeared to be close to sold out and the crowd was enthusiastic, but never too rowdy. There's apparently no last call and alcohol was served until the end of the game - and they actually sold shots of liquor in the stands, which was a first for me. Food and alcohol prices and quality were similar to most other sporting events. Lots of restaurants and bars nearby for pre or post party. We walked to the stadium since our hotel was nearby, but there are free shuttle buses running from the Metro to the stadium.

My wife and I were visiting Montreal from overseas and decided to take in an Als game. The setting of the stadium is incredible. We have been to many sporting events around the world and this is definitely one of our favourite stadiums with the incredible backdrop of the city on one side and the mountain on the other. The crowd was really into the game and very friendly despite the home team losing. The only downside is the slightly hard benches for seating but in a way that adds to the experience. Highly recommended!

I am a fan of Canadian football. Love the speed and construct of the game. The experience at Stade Molson is not like an NFL game. It is a small venue and very intimate. If you like creature comforts, this might not be the place for you. If you enjoy a fast paced and exciting football experience then go. Pre-game, you can get reasonably close to the players for photos and hi 5's. The crowd vibe is very nice and they keep you entertained--music, cheerleaders, Candyman, Tshirt man, etc.

both teams hurting expensive beer etc pizza and chips

Well, for my first experience at a Canadian Football game, I found it to be an excellent experience. No bad seats in the house.

We are from Cleveland, OH (USA). This was our first CFL game. After getting used to the differences between NFL and CFL rules, we became more comfortable. Our seats were close up and the night was relatively perfect (except for brief shower). The shuttle bus took away the stress of finding our way to and from the game. It truly was an awesome experience

Much more intimate than any NFL stadium. No frills but so what. Nice crowd and great atmosphere. Only negative was the rather limited food options.

After the Als ended Hamilton's home winning streak I had high hopes that they would win at home vs a struggling BC Lions team. BC's defense kept the Als frustrated all evening long. They managed only 3 field goals on offense. But actually being in Molson Stadium to watch the event live is an awesome event! I have to admit that one actually can see more and follow the action better on TV. The cheerleaders are all very beautiful as well. Much bettewr than watching commercials on TV!!

Good game and great venue to watch a football game.

First CFL game, I had a great time. The weather played well with the game, sun at the beginning followed by light snow. That is what Football is all about!

I had a fabulous time attending the Alouettes game! I am from the USA but have followed the Alouettes and the CFL on cable and online for years. This was my first live game, but definitely not my last. I can t wait to return. The atmosphere was terrific. Beautiful day 75f, sunny, puffy clouds providing the occasional shade. Percival Molson Stadium is gorgeous. Located on the campus of McGill University, the stadium is tucked into the slope of Mount Royal amidst other university buildings. Rather than being surrounded by acres of parking like some stadiums, this one blends into the city fabric perfectly. Following the excellent information on the team s website, I parked for free at an outlying train station (Radisson) and took the métro into town (18 minutes, $5.50 RT). Bypassing the free shuttle bus, I walked 10 minutes to the stadium, passing shops and restaurants. Approaching the stadium, I came upon two of the Alouettes cheerleaders, who were kind enough to pose for a picture. That made my day right there. Upon entering the stadium, I was greeted by ushers holding signs that said Info ; they directed me to my section. I passed several concession stands on the way. The food offerings were basic, among them hot dogs, pizza, pretzels, roasted corn, and the smoked meat sandwich, a Montréal staple. Unfortunately, my favorite Québec delicacy poutine (fries w/ gravy and cheese curds) was not on the menu, so I settled for the cheese pizza ($5.25) and a tall can of Budweiser ($10.25) (brewed in Canada by Labatt). In my opinion, the lack of beer choices (Bud/Bud Light) was a bit of a disappointment, given the many amazing microbreweries in the Montréal area. The fans were attentive and knowledgeable. Many were decked out in Alouettes garb. Two guys in my row even got up at halftime and bought their very own \u2018third jerseys which the team were debuting on the field that same day. The fans made a lot of noise, particularly when called upon by the announcer to Faites du Bruit! (make some noise). It was a very respectful atmosphere; I didn t hear any cursing nor did I see any obnoxious behavior. There were plenty of families there, and I would not hesitate to bring my own family to an Alouettes game. I also saw many fans wearing jerseys and shirts of the opposing Hamilton team, yet I did not see any confrontational behavior on the part of the home team s fans. The game itself was awesome, just perfect for a fan like me who enjoys a little drama on the field or ice, rather than a blowout victory by my team. The Alouettes fell behind early, but chipped away at Hamilton s lead, took advantage of turnovers, and came away victorious. My seat was great, right on the 10-yard line. I had a clear view all around the field, but especially when the teams were in the red zone in front of me. The cheerleaders were on the sideline directly below me, which made for a nice distraction during TV timeouts. Percival Molson Stadium is a college stadium and is thus a bit spartan when it comes to seat comfort. The seats are simply metal benches with no padding. To counter this, many fans brought their own seat cushions to sit on. Even without a cushion, however, I was completely comfortable for the three-plus hours I watched the game. I can't wait to get back!

Great game . Like old college football with Interceptions and lots of scoring

Great team, great GM, food could be cheaper though and also need newer, better located stadium DEFENCE!!! DEFENCE!!!

The game is incredibly confusing to follow due to minor rule differences from the NFL, but the atmosphere was amazing for the size of the crowd (approx. 20,000

excellent event from the crowd to the alouette win. terrific stadium atmosphere, music, game excitement, stadium food and no complains. all stadium employees A #1. restrooms clean stadium clean.

Extremely well organized. Compared to events this size in other countries, security was really impressive.

Molson Stadium is a great place to watch a football game. The stadium seems to be carved into the side of the mountain, overlooking the city of Montreal. Atmosphere is always great. My Argos won, making the trip to Montreal well worth it.

Molson stadium is a fun environment. The stadium is old. The bleacher seats are made of wood and really compact. Like a high school stadium. The Alouettes definitely need to upgrade. I'd go back though.

Great setting and view of Montreal. Fans were nice and it was a fun atmosphere.

This stadium SUCKS!!! No water fountains! 6.00 for a bottle of water???? I DON'T THINK SO!! It should be illegal for a sports arena to not provide free water.

Lots of fun for the afternoon despite the result. More concessions needed in this intimate venue. Its an event to walk down University with the crowd after the game.

Sick time, great experience to have while visiting canada.

The Stamps may have lost this day, but it was one of the most fun football games I have ever been to! The fans in Montreal were great, my friends and I had an awesome day! Can't wait to come back again to see my Stamps take on the Als!
