Lamport Stadium, Multi-purpose stadium in Liberty Village, Toronto, Canada
Lamport Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium on King Street West in Liberty Village, Toronto, with 9,600 seats and artificial turf marked for soccer and field hockey. Its light-grey tiered concrete bleachers rise above a flat base wall, with blue section numbers (31, 29, 25, 27) on the facade and white numbers along the top row. An air-supported winter dome covers the field from 2009–2010.
Construction on Lamport Stadium began in the winter of 1974 on the site of the Andrew Mercer Reformatory for Women and was completed on July 1, 1975. The venue was officially opened on September 19, 1976, after an earlier planned April 1976 launch. It was named for long-time Toronto politician Allan Lamport, who was associated with sporting activities in the city.
The facility hosts regular sporting communities and local teams who train and compete here throughout the year. It has become a gathering place for rugby league supporters and players in the city.
The field is covered by an air-supported winter bubble added in 2009–2010, managed by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, and community soccer runs under it in the cold months. The indoor field measures 68 by 105 metres, enough for a full eleven-a-side game. The stadium sits on King Street West in Liberty Village, served by nearby bus and streetcar stops.
The Toronto Wolfpack played home games at Lamport from 2017 to 2023, not just to 2019. The stadium also hosted the inaugural Americas 9s rugby league tournament on May 18, 2019, and a 2013 Colonial Cup opener against the United States drew 7,168 spectators.
