The Montreal Machine were a popular pro football franchise in the NFL-sponsored World League of American Football in 1991 and 1992. The WLAF was a springtime league that included three European teams, the Machine, and six U.S.-based clubs. Lackluster on the field both years, the team was relatively popular at the box office by WLAF standard. The Machine’s home debut on April 1st, 1991 against the Barcelona Dragons pulled a league record crowd of 53,238 at Olympic Stadium.
