New Moncton Stadium

The New Moncton Stadium (tentative name) is an athletics stadium currently being built on the campus of the Université de Moncton in Moncton, New Brunswick for the upcoming 2010 World Junior Championships in Athletics.

The facility has also been proposed as a potential venue for a future Canadian Football League expansion team, but a significant expansion (to a minimum of 25,000 permanent seats) would be required.
