Alumni Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium at the University of Guelph in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. It is home to the Guelph Gryphons varsity football team. It was built in 1970, and has a fixed seating capacity of approximately 8,500, including fixed seating and the grass hill on the east side of the stadium. On October 27, 2011, it was announced that the stadium would undergo an $18 million expansion and renovation that will bring fixed seating capacity up to 7,500. It was also announced[when?] that an eight-lane track would be installed[when?] as well as synthetic turf for the field.[1]
In addition to football the Gryphons soccer teams also play their home games at the stadium.
The $10.5 million, 1,300 m2 (14,000 sq ft) Football Pavilion addition to Alumni Stadium was completed in October 2017. The new facility features a state-of-the-art locker room, players' lounge with kitchen, therapy room with cold and hot tubs, equipment room, coaches offices, meeting rooms and a board room. The two largest meeting rooms and the roof top double as licensed, game-day viewing areas for alumni. This facility also allows for better support to football officials and the visiting teams, as well as being a study area for the players.
