Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton

Commonwealth Stadium is located in the capital of the Canadian province of Alberta – Edmonton. Construction began in March 1975 and the stadium opened three years later.

The building was originally built for the 1978 Commonwealth Games, with a capacity of just over 42,000 seats. Five years later, another 18,000 places were added to host the Summer Universiade.

Commonwealth Stadium provides a base for football training of the Canadian professional team "Edmonton Eskimos". There are also home matches of the team.

A few years ago, the surface on the sports field was replaced by artificial grass.

The stadium has been used many times for concerts by famous performers from around the world.
