Jarry Park Stadium (French: Stade Parc Jarry[stadpaʁkʒaʁi]) is a former baseball stadium, home to the Montreal Expos (now Washington Nationals), from 1969 through 1976, located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The Expos were Major League Baseball's first Canadian franchise. It served as a temporary home (for their eight seasons) until Olympic Stadium was made available to the Expos in 1977; its roof was completed a decade later. The ballpark was typically called simply (and inaccurately, since the stadium was built within the larger park) "Jarry Park" or Parc Jarry.
The stadium hosted two National Football League (NFL) preseason games in 1969; August 25 (Detroit Lions vs. Boston Patriots),[2][3] and September 11 (New York Giants vs. Pittsburgh Steelers).[4] Both games drew poorly (8,812 and 12,724, respectively) and no more US pro football games were attempted at Jarry Park.[citation needed] (The NFL would not return to Montreal until Olympic Stadium hosted exhibition contests in 1988 and 1990.)[citation needed]
