    1. University Stadium (US)

      Home to Golden Hawk football, lacrosse, rugby and intramural programs.

      University Stadium was newly renovated in 2007 and saw its Grand Reopening on September 22, 2007. The $5-million University Stadium Renewal Project involved a complete change of the Stadium's layout, rearranging each existing room in order to ensure a higher level of functionality, as well as the expansion of the main entrance, concessions and washrooms.

      The Stadium offers space for recreational programs and Kinesiology classrooms.

      The gymnasium in University Stadium is home to many intramural programs, as well as receptions and conferences. During its renovations in 2007, the gymnasium was retro-fitted with new flooring, ensuring that it remains a very versatile space.

      Knight-Newbrough field is named after Dave "Tuffy" Knight and Rich Newbrough. Both Golden Hawk Hall of Fame inductees, Knight and Newbrough were coaches during the 1970s here at Laurier.

      During its renovations in 2007, the field saw numerous changes. The addition of state of the art field turf was an exciting change for both the football and lacrosse programs, and enabled the Golden Hawk rugby programs to use the space, also.

      The stands feature a capacity of 6,500 seats as well as a lighting system for evening and night usage
