WESTERN ALUMNI STADIUM
The state-of-the-art Western Alumni Stadium, which opened in 2000, is conveniently located on the beautiful Western University campus in London, Ontario. It was built as a replacement for the J.W. Little Stadium. J.W. Little Stadium had been in use since 1929 and stood adjacent to where the Health Sciences Building is today. The original stadium was named after John William Little, whose generosity made possible the building of the stadium used for both sports and convocations. He was a former mayor of London and an active member on Western’s Board of Governors.
Situated near the corner of Western and Sarnia Road (100 Philip Aziz Ave, London, ON N6A 5P9), the field is CFL regulation size featuring an infill turf playing surface with a 2″ rubberized e-layer. Bordering the field is an eight-lane, 400-metre mondo track.
The facility was proud to host the 2001 Canada Games, the Pan Am Field Hockey Championships, the World Transplant Games, the Ontario Paralympic Championships, the 2006 World Lacrosse Championships and the 2010 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games.
