Alumni Field (York University)


Alumni Field is an outdoor football, rugby and soccer stadium located at York University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is the former home of the York Lions. The stadium was known as York Stadium prior to 2017. The Toronto Arrows will split its home games at Alumni Field and Lamport Stadium during its inaugural 2019 Major League Rugby season.
It was planned to be the temporary home of the Canadian Premier League's York 9 FC in the beginning of their inaugural 2019 season as they renovate their future home at York Lions Stadium. However, it was announced prior to the 2019 season that all games would be played at York Lions Stadium.

History

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 2500 spectators and an enclosed booth for broadcasting/scorekeeping, concessions, washrooms and changerooms.
In 2013, the stadium's grass surface was replaced with FieldTurf.
