Stade Canac, Baseball stadium in Quebec City, Canada
Stade Canac is a baseball stadium inside Parc Victoria, between the St-Roch district of Quebec City and the Saint-Charles River. It has 4,297 seats, and the field occupies about a quarter of the park. The Québec Capitales of the National Association of Professional Baseball play their home games there.
Built in Parc Victoria in 1938 to plans by architect Jules Caron, at a cost of about $150,000, the stadium opened on 14 May 1939 as Stade municipal de Québec; the Athletics beat Trois-Rivières 6-5 before more than 5,000 spectators. It was renamed Stade Canac in 2016 after a partnership with the Canac hardware chain, and in 2022 the city committed $11.35 million over five years to renovate it.
Locals often call the ballpark simply "Parc Victoria", though the field occupies only about a quarter of the municipal park between St-Roch and the Saint-Charles River. The team name Carnavals, used from 1971, was chosen in honour of the Carnaval de Québec. The stadium's name since 2017 comes from a partnership with the Canac hardware chain, owned by Groupe Laberge.
The stadium sits inside Parc Victoria, between the Saint-Charles River and the St-Roch district, so locals often call the whole area "Parc Victoria". The field occupies only about a quarter of the park. Quebec City announced in 2024 a four-year renovation plan running to 2028, covering field lighting and sound (2024), structural work (2025-2028) and universal accessibility improvements (2026-2027).
The ballpark occupies only about a quarter of Parc Victoria, yet locals often call the whole grounds "Parc Victoria". The stadium's plans by architect Jules Caron were reused for Trois-Rivières's Stade Quillorama, and construction in 1938 cost an estimated $150,000.
