The Building
Overview
Tim Hortons Field is Hamilton's modern football and soccer stadium, built on the historic Ivor Wynne Stadium site. It is home to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Forge FC and has become one of Canada's stronger examples of a compact urban stadium serving both CFL and soccer audiences.
Tim Hortons Field opened in 2014 as the new home of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, replacing legendary Ivor Wynne Stadium on the same site. The asymmetric bowl puts virtually every seat tight to the action.
It has hosted the 2015 Pan American Games athletics events, multiple CPL Canadian Championship finals, and is the home of Canadian Premier League founding club Forge FC.

Seating Guide
Asymmetric design means the east-side grandstand dominates and the west side is much smaller. Lower east sideline is the prime experience. The Box J supporters' section in the north end is loud and rowdy.
