Varsity Stadium

About

Varsity Stadium is an outdoor collegiate stadium of the University of Toronto located at the "Varsity Centre & Arena", a sports complex on the St. George campus that also includes Varsity Arena. It is located on the northern edge of the campus in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Athletic events have been hosted on the site since 1898; the current stadium was built in 2007 to replace the original permanent stadium built in 1911. Varsity Stadium is also a former home of the Toronto Argonauts, and has previously hosted the Grey Cup, the Vanier Cup, several matches of the 1976 Summer Olympics soccer tournament, and the final game of the North American Soccer League's 1984 Soccer Bowl series (which was also the last game played by the original NASL). The stadium is home to the Toronto Varsity Blues football, soccer, and rugby teams. It is also the home field for the Toronto Rush professional Ultimate Frisbee Association team.
