{{LansdowneParkSeries}}
'''TD Place Stadium''' (originally '''Lansdowne Park''' and formerly '''Frank Clair Stadium''') is an outdoor [[stadium]] in [[Ottawa]], [[Ontario]], Canada. It is located at [[Lansdowne Park]], on the southern edge of [[The Glebe]] neighbourhood, where [[Bank Street (Ottawa)|Bank Street]] crosses the [[Rideau Canal]]. It is the home of the [[Ottawa Redblacks]] of the [[Canadian Football League]] (CFL), [[Atlético Ottawa]] of the [[Canadian Premier League]] (CPL), [[Ottawa Rapid FC]] of the [[Northern Super League]] (NSL), and the [[Ottawa Gee-Gees football]] team of [[Ontario University Athletics]] (OUA), which represent the [[University of Ottawa]].

The playing field has existed since the 1870s, and the complete stadium since 1908. The stadium has been host to [[FIFA]] tournaments, [[Summer Olympic Games]], and seven [[Grey Cup]]s.

==History==
{{more citations needed section|date=April 2021}}
[[File:Lansdowne park 1950.jpg|thumb|An aerial view of Lansdowne Park in the 1950s|left]]
The playing field, part of the Ottawa Exposition Grounds, was first cleared in the 1870s. It was used for equestrian events, [[lacrosse]] and [[rugby football]].  The first permanent grandstand was built on the north side of the playing field in 1908. It was demolished in 1967 to build a new set of stands with an integrated [[ice hockey]] arena underneath, then known as the [[TD Place Arena|Ottawa Civic Centre]].

A small grandstand was built in the 1920s on the south-side of the field, and it was replaced in 1960. A second deck for the south-side was added during the 1970s. As of 2008, prior to lower south-side demolition, the overall stadium had a 30,927 capacity for football.

In 1984, the grass field which had been in place from 1908 to 1983 was replaced by [[Astroturf]], which lasted though the 2000 season.
[[File:Lansdowne Park 3.jpg|left|thumb|Frank Clair Stadium in 2004]]
In the late 1990s, the stadium was threatened with demolition when then-city councillor (and future Ottawa mayor) [[Jim Watson (Canadian politician)|Jim Watson]] led a drive by the municipal government to allow a private developer to reconfigure Lansdowne Park. The proposals submitted all called for residences to be built on the site of the football stadium. Massive public opposition and the realization that the end of the stadium would mean the end of hopes to return CFL football to the capital led the regional government to step in to end the scheme.

In 2001, one year before the [[Ottawa Renegades]] began play, the stadium was the first in the CFL to have a next-generation artificial playing surface ([[FieldTurf]]) installed.

For many years, the stadium was known as Lansdowne Park, after the fairgrounds in which it was located. It was renamed in 1993 to honour [[Frank Clair]], coach and general manager for the [[Ottawa Rough Riders]] during the 1960s and 1970s.

===Revitalization and reconstruction===
{{Main|Lansdowne Park redevelopment}}
[[File:TDPlace.jpg|thumb|TD Place Stadium after its reconstruction in 2014]]
In September 2007, the lower south side stands were closed because of cracks in the concrete structure. After the closure of the stands, then-Ottawa mayor [[Larry O'Brien (Canadian politician)|Larry O'Brien]] was quoted saying that this was an opportunity to do a review of the usage and the facilities of Lansdowne Park.<ref name="stands-closure">{{cite news |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ottawa-closes-stadium-section-due-to-cracks-in-structure-1.658164 |title=Ottawa closes stadium section due to cracks in structure |date=September 6, 2007 |access-date=January 10, 2008 |publisher=CBC News}}</ref> Subsequently, a process was started called "Design Lansdowne" to get public consultations on the park and the stadium. After an engineering study of the north-side and south-side grandstands, the south-side stands were condemned. The lower section of the stands was demolished by controlled implosion on July 20, 2008 at 8:03 am.

During the summer of 2008, a consortium of investors was formed to pursue a new CFL team in Ottawa. They bid successfully and received a conditional franchise from the CFL, with the condition that the stadium would need to be upgraded before the franchise could be activated. [[Jeff Hunt]], one of the principal investors and owner of the [[Ottawa 67's]] who play in the attached arena, stated that the venue and location are ideal, with over a million people in Ottawa. The organization had reportedly already pre-sold 5,000 season tickets.

In the fall of 2008, the consortium, known as Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG), approached the City with a plan to redevelop Lansdowne Park and rebuild the stadium using the proceeds from turning a section of the park into commercial and retail space. The plan, entitled Lansdowne Live! was ambitious and included plans to redevelop all sections of the park. The City, which had received a competing stadium proposal located in [[Kanata, Ontario|Kanata]], reviewed the plans and agreed to a conditional agreement with OSEG. OSEG would concentrate on the stadium and commercial/residential precinct, and Ottawa would return the rest of Lansdowne Park to green space. Faced with opposition to the plan, the City proceeded slowly with the proposal, seeking out legal opinions, traffic studies, and an urban park design competition for Lansdowne.

In June 2010 it was announced that Ottawa City Council had approved a redevelopment plan put forward by OSEG to renovate Frank Clair Stadium and build {{convert|350000|sqft|m2|abbr=on}} of commercial retail space, 250 housing units and an urban park on the site. The stadium, which was the catalyst to bring the CFL back to Ottawa is to be rent-free to developers for 30 years. Proceeds from the retail and commercial precinct would be shared, and the retail and commercial precinct brought under City control after 30 years. Completion of the overall development was scheduled for 2015.

The OSEG proposal for the stadium envisioned tearing down all of the south-side stands, replacing the stands with a new structure with private boxes and a unique wood-wrapping around the exterior. The north-side stands were to be renovated to current standards, and the north-side exterior expanded to include a retail component. In September 2010, the management group of what would become Ottawa Fury FC joined the plan to redevelop Lansdowne. On June 20, 2011, Ottawa was awarded a professional soccer franchise in the [[North American Soccer League (2011–2017)|North American Soccer League]] (NASL) to start play in 2014.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ottawafury.com/ottawaNASL |title=NASL |publisher=Ottawafury.com |access-date=April 7, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120315100356/http://www.ottawafury.com/ottawaNASL |archive-date=March 15, 2012 }}</ref>

In November 2011, demolition of the rest of the south side stands started. The contract to demolish the stands was awarded for {{CA$|0.55|link=yes}}{{nbsp}}million (equivalent to ${{Inflation|CA|0.55|2011|r=2}}{{nbsp}}million in {{Inflation/year|CA}}). Unlike the lower stands, the upper stands structure was demolished piece-by-piece rather than controlled implosion.<ref>{{cite news |work=CTV News |url=https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/tear-down-of-frank-clair-s-south-stands-begins-1.721391 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140224232539/http://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/tear-down-of-frank-clair-s-south-stands-begins-1.721391 |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 24, 2014 |title=Tear-down of Frank Clair's south stands begins |date=November 4, 2011 |access-date=November 7, 2011}}</ref> The concrete and steel from the structure was recycled, and the seats re-used at a new skating and hockey rink at [[Ottawa City Hall]].

On January 7, 2014, Frank Clair Stadium and the Civic Centre Arena were renamed TD Place under a new sponsorship deal with the [[Toronto-Dominion Bank]].<ref name="CBC">{{cite web|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/lansdowne-stadium-arena-to-be-renamed-td-place-1.2487469|title=Lansdowne stadium, arena, to be renamed TD Place|date=January 7, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ottawasun.com/2014/01/07/frank-clair-stadium-civic-centre-to-become-td-place|title=Frank Clair Stadium, Civic Centre to become TD Place|date=January 7, 2014}}</ref>

The stadium was completed for the first [[Ottawa Redblacks]] home game on July 18, 2014. The [[Ottawa Fury FC|Ottawa Fury]] opened their [[2014 North American Soccer League season#Fall Championship|fall season]] on the same weekend after playing their previous home games that year at [[Keith Harris Stadium]] at [[Carleton University]].

On October 29, 2014, the [[press box]] and media centre at the stadium were named for [[Ernie Calcutt]], a former broadcaster for the Ottawa Rough Riders.<ref>{{cite news|title=Ex-Riders broadcaster Ernie Calcutt honoured at rebuilt stadium|last=Holder|first=Gord|date=October 30, 2014|newspaper=Ottawa Citizen|location=Ottawa, Ontario|url=https://ottawacitizen.com/sports/football/cfl/ex-riders-broadcaster-ernie-calcutt-honoured-at-rebuilt-stadium}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Le Rouge et Noir rend hommage à Ernie Calcutt|date=October 30, 2014|newspaper=Le Droit|location=Ottawa, Ontario|url=https://www.ledroit.com/sports/rouge-et-noir/le-rouge-et-noir-rend-hommage-a-ernie-calcutt-391eb42fd77960dd7839c2c4c1fdfad5|language=fr}}</ref>

===Tenants===
{{Update|section|date=February 2020}}
The [[Ottawa Rough Riders]] football team and its predecessors played at the field from their inception in 1876 until 1996, when the team ceased operations. A successor team, the [[Ottawa Renegades]], played at the stadium from 2002 until 2005. Ottawa's third CFL team, the Redblacks, have played at the stadium since 2014.

From the 1870s onward, the field was also home to [[University of Ottawa]]'s [[Ottawa Gee-Gees|Gee-Gees]] football team. The stadium is home to the [[Panda Game]], an annual game between the cross-city rivals, the [[Carleton University]] [[Carleton Ravens|Ravens]] and the Gee-Gees. At the Panda Game in 1987, the game was marred by an accident when at least 25 students were injured when a section of railing collapsed and the result was forfeited.

The stadium has also been home to the [[Ottawa Junior Riders]] of the [[Quebec Junior Football League]] and the Ottawa Bootleggers of the Empire Football League.

The field was also the home of minor-league baseball. The stadium was the home venue of the [[Ottawa Giants]] and [[Ottawa Athletics]] minor-league baseball teams.

[[Ottawa Fury FC]] were the first professional soccer club to play in the renovated TD Place Stadium, playing from the start of the 2014 fall season of the [[North American Soccer League (2011–2017)|North American Soccer League]] until the end of the 2019 fall season of the [[USL Championship]]. The top-tier Canadian professional club [[Atlético Ottawa]] joined the [[Canadian Premier League]] in the 2020 season. The [[Northern Super League]] team [[Ottawa Rapid FC]] play in the stadium, having kicked off their inaugural season in April 2025.

==Major events==

===Football===
The stadium has played host to seven [[Grey Cup]] games, the first occasion being in [[13th Grey Cup|1925]] when Ottawa won its first Grey Cup title.  It later held Grey Cup games in [[27th Grey Cup|1939]], [[55th Grey Cup|1967]], [[76th Grey Cup|1988]], and [[92nd Grey Cup|2004]]. On July 31, 2016, the CFL awarded Ottawa the [[105th Grey Cup]] game, to be played at TD Place Stadium in 2017, as part of [[150th anniversary of Canada|celebrations to mark 150 years of Confederation]].<ref name="105-Ottawa-150">{{cite news |url=https://www.cfl.ca/2016/07/31/ottawa-host-105th-grey-cup-2017/ |title=Ottawa to host 105th Grey Cup in 2017 |publisher=Canadian Football League |date=July 31, 2016 |access-date=July 31, 2016}}</ref> The 55th Grey Cup in 1967 was similarly played at Lansdowne Park as part of [[Canadian Centennial|celebrations to mark the Centennial of Confederation]].

The stadium has hosted the [[Panda Game]], a Canadian [[college rivalry|rivalry]] football game between the two OUA football teams in Ottawa, the [[University of Ottawa]] [[Ottawa Gee-Gees football|Gee-Gees]] and [[Carleton University]] [[Carleton Ravens football|Ravens]], in the years the game has been played while the facility has had a CFL tenant. This is one of the oldest and richest rivalries in Canadian university football, and currently the most attended Canadian university football game. Because these universities are not beneficiaries of the naming rights agreement with the bank, some sources prefer to use the name "Lansdowne Park" for the Panda Game venue, although unlike for international soccer (see below) this is not official policy.

During the [[1976 Summer Olympics]] in [[Montreal]], the stadium hosted five [[Football at the 1976 Summer Olympics|soccer]] matches.<ref>[http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/1976/1976v2.pdf 1976 Summer Olympics official report.] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100506012124/http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/1976/1976v2.pdf |date=May 6, 2010 }} Volume 2. pp. 230–3.</ref><ref>[http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/1976/1976v3.pdf 1976 Summer Olympics official report.] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927222508/http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/1976/1976v3.pdf |date=September 27, 2007 }} Volume 3. pp. 279–87.</ref>

In mid-2007, the stadium was one of six hosts in the [[2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup]]. Capacity was then listed at 28,826.

In 2014, [[Ottawa Fury FC]] joined the [[North American Soccer League (2011–2017)|North American Soccer League]] (NASL) and made an agreement to use the stadium as its home grounds.<ref name=":4">{{Cite news |last=Hofley |first=Chris |date=July 21, 2014 |title=NY Cosmos down Ottawa Fury FC 1–0 |work=Ottawa Sun |url=http://ottawasun.com/2014/07/18/ottawa-fury-fc-host-new-york-cosmos-in-td-place-debut/wcm/0f6ee2c6-9c1d-47de-8b05-169c818b911d |access-date=July 4, 2018}}</ref>

The stadium was one of six chosen to host matches for the [[2015 FIFA Women's World Cup]]; it hosted a total of six group stage matches, two Round of 16 matches, and one quarter-final match.  Due to FIFA policy forbidding commercial sponsorship of stadium names, the stadium was known as "Lansdowne Stadium"<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/womensworldcup/destination/cities/city=3401/index.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120512193051/http://www.fifa.com/womensworldcup/destination/cities/city=3401/index.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=May 12, 2012 |title=FIFA Women's World Cup Canada 2015™ Destination: Ottawa |publisher=FIFA |access-date=January 4, 2015}}</ref> during the tournament.

A portion of [[FieldTurf]] and some field-level stands set up for soccer matches suffered minor fire damage on July 18, 2018, during the [[Ottawa Fury FC|Fury FC]] home leg of the [[2018 Canadian Championship]] semifinal against [[Toronto FC]]. The cause was lit flares brought in by some members of a Toronto [[Supporters' groups#United States and Canada|supporters' group]], the "[[Toronto FC fans#Inebriatti|Inebriatti]]", which ignited one of their banners.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://ottawasun.com/sports/soccer/fury-cant-solve-toronto-fc-in-opening-leg-of-canadian-championship-semifinal|title=Fury can't solve Toronto FC in violent opening leg of Canadian Championship semifinal|last=Campbell|first=Don|date=July 18, 2018|work=[[Ottawa Sun]]|access-date=July 19, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/flare-apparently-starts-a-fire-that-held-up-wednesdays-ottawa-fury-game|title=Flare starts a fire that held up Wednesday's Ottawa Fury game|last=Delamont|first=Kieran|date=July 18, 2018|work=[[Ottawa Citizen]]|access-date=July 19, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/tfc-terminates-inebriattis-supporters-group-status/|title=TFC terminates Inebriatti's supporters group status|publisher=[[Sportsnet|sportsnet.ca]]|date=August 23, 2018|access-date=March 16, 2019}}</ref> Also, at least one firework was detonated during the incident.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Ferreras |first1=Jesse |title=Toronto FC soccer fan group triggers blast, ignites fire in the stands at Ottawa Fury game |url=https://globalnews.ca/news/4340187/toronto-fc-fans-fire-blast-ottawa-fury/ |publisher=[[CIII-DT|Global Toronto]] |date=July 18, 2018 |access-date=July 19, 2018}}</ref>

In 2019, Ottawa Fury ceased operations after it lost its sanctioning to play in the [[USL Championship]] and refused to join the [[Canadian Premier League]] (CPL).
