History and description

Commonwealth Stadium was built by the city of Edmonton in 1978 to serve as the flagship venue of the Commonwealth Games. Construction started in 1975 at the site of the old Clark Stadium. It took three years to build the stadium, and it opened on 15 July 2018 just before the Games.

The stadium now has a seating capacity of 80,000. The stadium could initially hold 42,500 spectators, but it was subsequently expanded for the 1983 Summer Universiade. The stadium now has a seating capacity of eighty thousand.

Commonwealth Stadium has been refurbished multiple times since 2001 and it was one of the playing venues of the 2015 Women's World Cup.

The local club Edmonton FC does not play at the Commonwealth Stadium, but they have played the occasional match at Clarke Stadium, which is much smaller.

The stadium is the home of the Edmonton Eskimo's Canadian football team.
