	McGill University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		McGill's main campus is set upon 32 hectares (80 acres) at the foot of Mount Royal in Montreal's downtown district.
		McGill was founded in 1821 from a bequest by James McGill, a prominent Montreal merchant, who left an endowment in addition to the property on which the university now stands.
		McGill was largely out of reach to the 10,000 francophone graduates of the newly-created CEGEP system who had nowhere else to go, locally, to continue their studies.

	Molson Stadium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Today the stadium is the home of the Selwyn Gryphons, the McGill Redmen football team and was the home of the CFL Montreal Alouettes from 1947–1967 and again since 1997.
		The stadium was built during a time when title sponsorship of sporting venues was not the norm.

	McGill Redmen
		McGill, which failed to score a touchdown for the first time this season, countered with 183 yards passing and 267 net yards.
		Wide-out Ben Wearing broke the McGill single-season record for reception yardage but was held to just 58 total yards, marking the first time in 17 games dating back to last season that he did not reach the century mark in all-purpose yards.
		McGill's leading rusher on the day was Nick Hoffmann of Greenfield Park, Que., who returned to the lineup after missing last week and ran 13 times for 63 yards.

	Olympic Stadium/Autostade/Molson Stadium Articles
		The Stadium was originally constructed with a 7,676-seat grandstand. A large majority of the estimated $100,000 construction costs came from Captain Percival Molson, a McGill football, hockey and track star who bequeathed $75,000 to help defray the costs of a new stadium.
		Molson Stadium had been the home of the Alouettes from 1947-to-1967 and in 1972.
		But the stadium proved to be an albatross around their necks, what with the high rental, the enormous amount of empty seats which gave it a sterile atmosphere for games.

	Percival Molson Memorial Stadium
		The stadium, anticipated to cost $100,000, was to be financed by the sale of rock excavated during construction, and subsequent gate receipts.
		By the 1930s, the stadium's capacity was becoming inadequate, and it began a gradual expansion, which included building a south grandstand, and heightening the north stand.
		The Als returned to decrepit Molson Stadium - which had not played host to a CFL game in 25 years but may become the club's permanent home again as early as next season - and used the occasion to keep their playoff hopes alive.

	Football V Soccer turf war (CP) - www.ezboard.com
		Given the lack of suitable soccer stadiums in Canada, it would be a bitter pill for Canadian soccer if a stadium in Montreal took itself out of the high-end international side of the sport by painting permanent football lines on the field.
		The McGill decision could be crucial to the Canadian women's World Cup bid, especially when its rival for 2007 tournament host is France, which showcased its extensive collection of natural turf stadiums at the 1998 men's World Cup.
		But chances are company executives probably wouldn't mind having a soccer-style stadium surface in their backyard to serve as a showcase for the burgeoning side of its business.

	Clem's Baseball ~ Olympic Stadium
		The cost overruns on this part of the stadium project were so big that it was not completed until 1987, the same year I was there.
		As is/was the case in Skydome and Exhibition Stadium, the extreme oblong shape of this stadium was due to the much longer length of the gridiron in the Canadian Football League: 480 feet (160 yards) altogether, rather than 360 feet (120 yards).
		With no prospects for a new stadium, the franchise became nonviable, and its owner Jeffrey Loria was fortunate to get an opportunity to "trade in" the Expos for the Marlins after that team's owner purchased the Red Sox in early 2002.

		The building of large football stadia of this sort continued a trend begun by the University of Toronto with the opening of the 10,000 seat Varsity Stadium in 1911, and was followed in 1919 by McGill's Molson Stadium.
		Nevertheless, the stadium was began to show its age by the late-1960s, and administrative pressures to free up land on the main campus hastened its demise.
		To create a tangible link of continuity between old and new, several pieces of sod were transferred to the new stadium, and two plaques of dedication were removed from the old west grandstand and mounted in the north endzone of the new facility.

		The three buildings that currently serve McGill's athletic needs are all located in Macdonald Park, an area of land bounded on the south by Pine Avenue, on the west by University Street, and to the north and east by Mount Royal.
		This parcel of land was donated to McGill in 1911 by Sir William Macdonald, one of the University's most charitable friends.
		The Gymnasium was paid for in part by a posthumous donation from Lord Strathcona, a long-standing benefactor of McGill, and in part by the Graduate Society which had been raising money and planning for years for this facility.

		Under the terms of the deal, the Alouettes injected about $400,000 to help upgrade Molson Stadium and were allowed to play their 1998 home games at the University.
		Because Molson Stadium, built in the 1940s, had fallen into disrepair over time due to budgetary constraints, McGill welcomed the infusion of funds from an outside organization.
		Robert Dubeau, director of McGill's Department of Athletics, says that everyone turned out a winner by having the Alouettes play at McGill, since the University will probably start collecting rent from the franchise and already receives a small percentage of concession sales.

		With the Alouettes leading at half-time, the crowd was already in a frenzy when the stage was wheeled out to mid-field and the band introduced over the PA. Emerging from a sea of red, white and blue balloons, Annette Lafond and her band ran to the stage and played a medley of Shania Twain's hits.
		The crowd heard live music, and there was plenty of P.A. spread across the stadium for a full concert effect.
		The show continued the band's relationship with the CFL Montreal Alouettes, having already performed at their preseason "Street Festival" on Montreal's famed Crescent and St. Catherine streets, directly in front of the 'Hard Rock Cafe', in June.

		Empire stadium was demolished in 1993 - 10 years after the Lions and Whitecaps left in 1983.
		Considering that current stadiums Taylor Field (1946), Molson Stadium (1916), Lansdowne Park (1908), Canad Inns Stadium (1953), and Ivor Wynne Stadium (1930) are all older stadiums than Empire Stadium which opened in 1954, then Empire should have been more than sufficient to host other venues and it should have been kept.
		Convenient access to public transit is a vital consideration for any new Vancouver sports stadium and the rail lands property fits the bill, as it's within walking distance of the SeaBus, SkyTrain and West Coast Express.
