“Attending an Alouettes game is cool again” -Mark Weightman — 98.5 Montreal

“So that week, it’s an opportunity to get our players better known, get our team better known. We saw last year how players who were little known before the Gray Cup have become names that we hear every day. Unfortunately, that’s what we’re losing, apart from the fact that obviously we wanted to go for a second championship.”

The Alouettes popular with young people

The Alouettes returned to sold-out matches in 2024.

“Attending an Alouettes game at Percival-Molson Stadium has become cool again. There are more and more young people coming to the match. There are more and more teenagers coming to the games. And we see it from the statistics on social networks. It’s skyrocketed in the last two years.”
