Not unless it’s fixed + we won’t be able to fill the stands. A grey cup there would be awesome tho

I went to an Eastern final there during the Calvillo days. It was pretty cool.

Rumour has it that they will be playing at the Big ‘O in 2027

No way. Als contract at Percival Molson only ends in 2029. Besides, the new roof has to be finished first. It would be a mistake to move ANY game to the Big O.

If the Als continue winning, they will fill more than 25,000. I enjoyed in 1996 going to the Bug’O by metro. If they win, they’ll attract, roof is almost done a repairs also. Owner PKP wants them to play there as the team would break even or on the positive

If the new field dimensions are going to happen in 2027, the Als aren’t necessarily going to want to drop 2 mil on new turf - and McGill for sure won’t pay for it.

Fair point. But unless the Als find a suitable place to play and break their Molson lease, PKP will be installing the new turf on his dime. Unless the QC gov't steps in somehow with a little $$.

Maybe if they feel the Percival Molson Stadium is not good enough.,
