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.[2] The stadium was known as York Stadium prior to 2017.
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.[3]
In 2013, the stadium's grass surface was replaced with FieldTurf.
