The 28 Most Unique College Stadiums That Are Now Iconic Landmarks

23. Varsity Stadium – The Heart of Canadian College Football

Nestled within downtown Toronto, Varsity Stadium is the birthplace of Canadian college football, with a history stretching back to 1898. While its modern-day version seats just 5,000 fans, this historic venue once held nearly 27,000 people and was home to one of the most fiercely contested rivalries in the early days of football: Toronto vs. McGill. Varsity Stadium’s location, surrounded by the high-rises of Canada’s largest city, gives it an urban feel rarely found in collegiate athletics. While it’s been downsized over the years, its historic significance, unique location, and deeply ingrained traditions make it a must-visit for fans of both American and Canadian college sports.
