The Montreal Alouettes are planning to put in a bid for the 2020 Grey Cup according to Montreal Gazette reporter Herb Zurkowsky.

A contingent, led by #AlsMTL president Patrick Boivin will be in Toronto this Tuesday, making its bid and submitting a proposal that would see Olympic Stadium host the Grey Cup in 2020. Regina and Hamilton are also interested. Montreal hasn't hosted the game since 2008. — Herb Zurkowsky (@HerbZurkowsky1) November 4, 2018

Montreal last hosted the CFL title game in 2008 when the Calgary Stampeders beat the Als on their home turf 22-14 int he 96th edition of the Grey Cup. More than 66,000 packed Olympic Stadium to watch the Stamps victory.

The Alouettes have been out of the playoffs for a franchise-record four straight seasons, but maybe, just maybe, by the time 2020 comes around – if the team is awarded the right to host – Montreal might be in a position to legitimately compete for a spot in the game.

In the meantime, Montreal will go up against Saskatchewan and Hamilton who are also interested in hosting the Grey Cup that year.
