Université de Sherbrooke Stadium, Multi-purpose athletic stadium in Sherbrooke, Canada.
The Université de Sherbrooke Stadium is a sports venue in Sherbrooke equipped with a 400-meter track featuring eight lanes. The facility includes dedicated zones for jumping events, throwing disciplines, and indoor spaces for year-round athletic programming.
The stadium was built in 2003 to host the 2003 World Youth Championships in Athletics. In autumn 2018 two athletics competitions were cancelled because the track no longer met Quebec athletics federation criteria. A new eight-lane 400 m track opened in September 2019 after six months of renovations costing 3.3 million dollars.
The stadium is home to the Vert et Or, the university's teams in track and field, soccer and football. Its natural grass field also accommodates field hockey and lacrosse, and the track is open to the whole city of Sherbrooke outside competition hours.
The stadium sits on the Université de Sherbrooke campus, and its 400-metre, eight-lane track is open to the whole city of Sherbrooke outside competition hours. The natural-grass field serves soccer, American football, field hockey and lacrosse. Fixed seating numbers 3,359, so arrive early on event days.
The track surface was resurfaced in 2019 with a high-performance material that meets international competition standards. This upgrade makes it one of Canada's most modern athletic surfaces.
