SFU Stadium at Terry Fox Field – A New Kind of Campus Space

More than just a stadium, this award-winning venue is redefining what public spaces on campus can be. Designed to balance performance, participation, and social interaction, the stadium transforms depending on the day:

  • On game days, it's a dynamic performance venue with tiered seating for spectators and open areas for casual socializing.
  • Every other day, it becomes a welcoming, south-facing gathering space – perfect for cultural events, informal meetups, or simply relaxing with a view.
