University Stadium, located on the campus grounds of the University of Manitoba in south Winnipeg, Manitoba, features a 400m 8-lane track, as well as separate areas for long jump/triple jump, high jump, pole vault, discus, hammer, shot put, and javelin. Inside the track is a natural grass field for football and soccer.
Originally built as the athletics venue for the 1967 Pan American Games, the stadium was upgraded with a new track and other facilities when Winnipeg hosted the 1999 Pan American Games. The stadium has a permanent seating capacity of 5,000, which has been augmented with temporary seating during major events. The facility is wheelchair accessible, has an adjacent parking lot, and is served by public transit.
University Stadium is home to several Manitoba Bisons teams including football and track and field.
