CFL Teams Trivia Questions

1. Montreal is considered by some to be the birthplace of modern Canadian football. In what year did the Alouettes join the Canadian Football League?

From Quiz
Les Alouettes de Montreal

Answer: 1946

The original Montreal club was founded in April 1872. The original club was renamed as the Alouettes in 1946 and joined the CFL in the same season.

2. Prior to building the largest CFL stadium in the league in 1978, Commonwealth Stadium, where did the Eskimos play?

From Quiz Edmonton Eskimos

Answer: Clarke Stadium

With seating for 60,081 (expandable to 62,500 for playoffs), Commonwealth Stadium is the largest stadium in use *full time* in the CFL (as a team's home gorund) and one of the few major sports field in the country with natural grass. It was built in 1978 to replace the much smaller Clarke Stadium which had seats for 20,000. Clarke Stadium is directly beside Commonwealth and can be seen from the stands. Note on capacities: Legion Field in Birmingham AL (the Barracudas played one season in 1995), with a stadium capacity of over 80,000, was the largest capacity field in CFL history although the stadium never held more than 35,000 for a CFL game.
