Old Varsity Stadium, Sports stadium at University of Toronto, Canada
Varsity Stadium is a sports facility on the University of Toronto campus featuring an artificial turf field, a 400-meter running track, and seating for 5,000 spectators. The venue serves for track and field events and other university athletic competitions.
The original facility was established in 1898 and served as the home field for the Toronto Argonauts professional football team until 1958. The stadium also hosted numerous significant regional sporting championships.
The grounds hosted a major rock festival in 1969 that brought together many musicians and attracted thousands of spectators. This event established the location as a venue for significant cultural gatherings.
Access is through the Pavilion entrance on Devonshire Place, with hours running from 7 AM to 11 PM throughout the week. Availability may vary depending on sporting events and practice schedules.
An air-supported dome covers the field during winter months, transforming it into an indoor facility for year-round athletic use. This allows training and competitions to continue without interruption through cold and snowy weather.
