The Montreal Alouettes (French: les Alouettes de Montréal) are a Canadian Football League team based in Montreal, Quebec. The current incarnation of the Alouettes moved to Montreal from Baltimore, Maryland, in 1996 where they had been known as the Baltimore Stallions. The CFL considers all clubs that have played in Montreal as one in their league records, including those of the original Alouettes (1946–1981), the Montreal Concordes (1982–1986) and the Baltimore Stallions (1994–1995). The Alouettes, however, do not recognize the Baltimore franchise, or its records, as part of the official team history. All incarnations of the franchise have won the Grey Cup a total of five times, excluding the Stallions who have captured a championship as well, giving them six overall. The Alouettes' home field is Percival Molson Memorial Stadium for the regular season and Olympic Stadium for the playoffs. The Alouettes played in the 96th Grey Cup at Olympic Stadium on Nov. 23, 2008 in which they lost to the Calgary Stampeders. Canadian football has a long history in Montreal, dating to the 1850s. The Alouettes were first formed in 1946 by CFL hall of famer Lew Hayman. They named themselves after
