Montreal Alouettes Tickets Continued
In 1996, the Montreal Alouettes were re-founded again in
Montreal which was the third rendition of the team. In 1997, Jim
Speros sold the team to Robert Wettenhall, and former Alouettes star
and CFL Commissioner Larry Smith became President of the club. The
new Montreal 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.
When a scheduled November 1997 U2
concert conflicted with an unexpected home play-off game against the
BC Lions (due to the CFL's curious 'cross-over' playoff
format), the team decided to temporarily return to its old home at
Molson Stadium. Interest in the team soared and the game was sold
out, prompting the team to permanently relocate to the smaller venue
beginning with the 1998 season. Since 1999, the Montreal
Alouettes have sold out every game at the stadium, located on the
McGill University campus. The team has not completely abandoned
Olympic Stadium, however. The Montreal Alouettes soon resumed
playing playoff games at the "Big O" and as of 2004 play one regular
season game at the larger venue. These matches have been well
attended. Prior to every Sunday home game, the club plays "Sunday
Bloody Sunday" over the PA system in tribute to the unintended role
U2 played in saving the franchise.
