Montreal Alouettes News Release
Montreal, May 19, 2010 - The expansion project of McGill Stadium, home of the Montreal Alouettes, is in full progress and is in its final stages with just a few weeks to go before the start of the 2010 season. The project includes the addition of 5,000 new seats, knocking capacity up to 25,000 and giving more fans than ever before the chance to see their champions at home.
Season tickets are still available in every category, some for as low as $19.90 a game, tax included. For $37.50 a game, fans can get a season ticket in the Bronze category in the new north-east corner, featuring a spectacular view of the field as well as downtown Montreal. Nineteen new luxury boxes have also been added to the stadium, providing the opportunity to watch a game in the utmost comfort, but still right there as part of the action.
Even with all the improvements to McGill Stadium this year, ticket prices have not gone up a cent since 2009, when the Alouettes won the Grey Cup.
"The construction is going quickly and we are pleased with how's it's gone. We will be offering our fans an amazing experience in an amazing stadium, at affordable prices," said Alouettes President and CEO Larry Smith. "We are excited to play our pre-season game in exactly a month from today at McGill this coming June 19. We're even more excited to play our season opener there on July 22, when the stadium renovations will be completely done."

The improved McGill Stadium will also feature a new ticket office, built into the mountain with a natural "green roof." It will be located a few feet away from the new History Corner as well as the Builder's Club, where fans' personalized bricks will be found.
The stadium will also have two new spacious sections for physically challenged fans in the north-east and the south-west ends.
