Empire Stadium, Sports stadium at Hastings Park, Vancouver, Canada

Empire Stadium was a sports facility at Hastings Park with concrete stands surrounding a central playing field. The structure could accommodate more than 32,000 spectators for athletic competitions and entertainment events.

Work began on 4 September 1953 on a 25,000-seat stadium costing $1.5 million, after the city council fell $400,000 short for the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games. The BC Lions played there from 1954 to 1982, and it hosted seven Grey Cup games between 1955 and 1974, the first west of Ontario. Demolished in the early 1990s, the site became a parking lot before being converted to a soccer field and track.

Elvis Presley and The Beatles both performed at Empire Stadium, which also hosted the Shrine Bowl provincial high school championship and, in the 1970s and early 1980s, the Vancouver Whitecaps of the North American Soccer League. The stadium's end is marked today by a statue of John Landy and Roger Bannister outside the old ground.

The stadium no longer exists: it was demolished in the early 1990s. Its site is now Empire Fields, a community soccer field and running track at Hastings Park, next to Playland. The statue of John Landy and Roger Bannister from the 1954 mile race stands at the Pacific National Exhibition north entrance, metres from where the race finished.

The stadium's most famous moment came at the 1954 Games, when John Landy and Roger Bannister both broke four minutes in the mile. A statue of the pair, with Landy glancing back, stood outside until demolition and now stands at the PNE north entrance near the old track.
