		Built in 1966, The Autostade (officially known in English as the Automotive Stadium, although this name was not much found in common usage) was a Canadian football stadium that formerly stood at the north-west corner of the Cité du Havre sector of the Expo 67 site.
		Autostade was built in preparation for the 1967 World's Fair, Expo 67 as a venue for use in several events including the World Music Festival, the Rodeo Show, and others.
		It was originally planned that Montreal's new baseball team, the Montreal Expos, would play their home games at the Autostade, but the team was moved to Jarry Park, and the new stadium was looked at for CFL football use instead.

		The Autostade was financed by donations from the five major automobile manufacturers in Canada: American Motors, Chrysler, Ford, Genral Motors, and Volvo.
		The name "Autostade" was the French name for the stadium; the anglicised "Automotive Stadium" was used in the official Expo '67 literature, but never stuck.
		The Autostade was actually opened for football by the Ottawa Rough Riders with an eastern final against Hamilton on November 19, 1966.

	The Team That Nearly Wasn’t: The Montreal Expos from The Hardball Times
		As John McHale was working with MLB as deputy Commissioner at the time after he had resigned from working with the Braves, he recounts how Montreal sold MLB on the deal.
		Drapeau represented that there was a place to play at the Autostade and that we could play there for a short period of time and that he would see that a domed stadium was built within three years.
		There was an issue with the rate being set by the Montreal Aloutte football club, which used the facility and had the lease for the three years during which the fledgling Montreal club was supposed to use the proposed interim stadium.

	Montreal Alouettes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They named themselves after the famous work song "Alouette" (about plucking various parts of a lark), which has become a light-hearted symbol of the Québécois.
		(Similarly, during the Second World War the RCAF's 425 Bomber Squadron assumed the lark as its badge and the motto "Je te plumerai" -- I shall pluck you.) From 1968 to 1976 the team played in the Autostade stadium.
		The original Alouettes franchise folded after the 1981 CFL season, but were immediately replaced by a new club for 1982, the Montreal Concordes, owned by Canadian mogul Charles Bronfman.

	Montreal Impact soccer team to build new stadium
		The stadium would go up near where the Autostade was before it was demolished in the late 1970s, the Radio-Canada report says.
		The Autostade was an amphitheatre which boasted more than 33,000 places and served Montrealers between 1967 and 1976.
		There are some concerns the location might be a bit too cold because of its proximity to the St-Lawrence River, as was a common complaint about the Autostade.

		The Autostade failed and one of the biggest complaints was the wind coming off the river and the Autostade sat 30K.
		They're won't be a track and the complaints for the Autostade are based on using the stadium from August to November during the CFL season...Not from May to September...
		From the morning papers, we're looking at a SSS with grass, capacity ranging from 13,000 to 17,000 with up to 4 extra soccer fields adjacent to the main stadium with possibly one covered to use year round and use as the team's training facility.

		In 1975, Molson Stadium received a major facelift with a government-sponsored upgrade to the facilities, including the installation of artificial turf in order that it be used as a venue for field hockey during the 1976 Summer Olympics.
		They moved into the Autostade in 1968 and played there until Olympic Stadium became available in 1976, with the exception of the 1972 season.
		Over the winter of 1998, the CFL’s board of governors, in a move initiated by the clubs in western Canada, decided to provide the Als with a grant of at least $250,000, and perhaps as much as $300,000, to assist with the repairs.

	Est-ce que l'expansion du Casino de Montréal est souhaitable ?
		But the rest of the project seems geared to a much less select crowd.
		It includes a monorail to whisk visitors from a parking lot near the Autostade site to the casino in just four minutes.
		Because of the 4,000-8,000 parking spots at the Autostade, the casino's own underground parking would drop from about 2,000 spots to 1,000 - leaving more space for gambling.

		Since they returned to the league seven years ago, the Als have been in five Eastern finals but in only one Grey Cup.

		Rick is the Voice of the Montreal Alouettes on CJAD 800--what better career for a guy who snuck his first beer at the Autostade cheering for his current partner in the Als' booth Tony Proudfoot, along with his then favourite player Randy Rhino.
		Did you know Rick's father was a World War Two hero?
