The Montreal Alouettes
The Montreal Alouettes (French: les Alouettes de Montréal) are Montreal's Canadian Football League team.
The Alouettes' home field is Molson Stadium for the regular season and Olympic Stadium for the playoffs. They won the Grey Cup championship in 2002.
The Alouettes were first formed in 1946 by CFL hall of famer Lew Hayman. They named themselves after the famous work song "Alouette" (about a lark bird), which has become a symbol of the Québécois spirit. The team underwent its fair share of troubles throughout the eighties and eventually folded in 1987. Throughout an illustrious career, the Als had won over this city with their hard-earned successes and exhilarating play. So when the Als announced their return to Montreal in 1997, football fans knew that it had been well worth the wait.
Enjoying incredible successes since their return, the Montreal Alouettes made it to the 2000 Grey Cup final in Calgary only to lose a nail-biter against the B.C. Lions. Since then, they have won the 2002 Grey Cup, beating the Eskimos 25-16 in an exciting game in Edmonton and also made it to the finals in 2003 and 2005. They continue to play some of the most entertaining football on their home turf, the Moslson Stadium .
The Moslson Stadium is located at:
475 Avenue Des Pins W.,
Montréal, Québec, Canada, H2W 2M9
Telephone: (514) 871-2255 (Tickets)
