Varsity Stadium is also a former home of the Toronto Argonauts, and has previously hosted the Grey Cup, the Vanier Cup, the soccer semifinals of the 1976 Summer Olympics, and the final game of the North American Soccer League's 1984 Soccer Bowl series.HistoryVarsity Stadium has for its entire history been host to the University of Toronto's collegiate Canadian football team, the Varsity Blues. However it was, until the opening of Exhibition Stadium in 1959, the home of the Toronto Argonauts of what would become the Canadian Football League. Although it has not hosted a meaningful CFL game in almost half a century, it still holds the record for the number of times any stadium has hosted the Canadian professional football championship game, the Grey Cup. Capacity of the stadium has varied with time, but peaked at about 22,000 in the 1950s although, with the use of temporary bleachers, a record crowd of 27,425 watched the Edmonton Eskimos defeat the Montreal Alouettes 50-27 in the 1956 Grey Cup final.

Awesome sporting venue located at University of Toronto St George Campus, few steps away from St. George Subway Station. Well maintained Arena. You can also get a view of Canada's largest skyline.
canadian style more like north American respecto
It would be nice if the lights were a little better for night games, but this is a nice stadium.
My first race in Canada was here and 9 years later I had the pleasure to run with my son on this track. Feels like a home track to this foreigner and newcomer to Toronto, Canada.
Great place for foot ball game
Great venue to watch a football game
The turf is still usable but likely need to be replace soon.
