Alumni Field is a stadium located at York University's Keele Campus in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is the former home of the York Lions football team.[2] Alumni Field is currently home venue to the York Lions' field hockey and rugby teams.[3][4]
The stadium was known as "York Stadium" prior to 2017. The Toronto Arrows split its home games at Alumni Field and Lamport Stadium during its inaugural 2019 Major League Rugby season.[5]
History
&sq=Alumni_Field_(York_University)&lang=en&file=File:2017_Red_and_Blue_Bowl.jpg)
Prior to 1995 the site was a grass field and the then Yeomen football team played home games at Esther Shiner Stadium at Bathurst Street and Finch Avenue.
There is a small bleacher seating 2,500 spectators and an enclosed booth for broadcasting/scorekeeping, concessions, washrooms and changerooms.[6]
In 2013, the stadium's grass surface was replaced with FieldTurf.
It was planned to be the temporary home of the Canadian Premier League's York9 FC in the beginning of their inaugural 2019 season as they renovate their future home at York Lions Stadium.[7] However, it was announced prior to the 2019 season that all games would be played at York Lions Stadium.
