The Pioneers played their home games in 1987 across the Ottawa river at Aydelu Park in Aylmer, Quebec. With the CSL adopting the playing rules of FIFA in which games must be played on natural grass, the Pioneers were forced to play in Alymer since Lansdowne Park, a much larger CFL football stadium in the city of Ottawa, had artificial surface which forced the club to seek a playing surface in Aylmer, QC for the 1987 season. Aylmer offered the club 51% of the park plus concession rights for the ability to have a club in the national league play in the city.
