 Montreal Alouettes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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, who also was the founder of the Montreal Expos baseball team.
During this time, it was quite common for the stadium announcer to announce the team as the "Baltimore Football Club".
The new Alouettes franchise played their first two seasons at Olympic Stadium, but attendance in the domed stadium was very poor and the long term prospects for the franchise were once again uncertain, until a twist of fate revitalized the floundering club.

Playing at 81-year-old Molson Stadium, where every game has been sold out since 1999, has been central to the Alouettes success since they were forced out of the cavernous dome of Olympic Stadium by a U2 concert for a playoff game.
Fans like the tranquil atmosphere on the mountainside on summer evenings and views of downtown buildings from the north side grandstands and don't seem to mind that there's no parking and the seats are aluminium benches.
The Alouettes completed an initial renovation of the stadium in 2003 for $13.5 million, which included rebuilding crumbling grandstands and installing new washrooms and lighting but adding only 200 new seats.

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.
