One of the largest of its kind in Canada, the air-supported dome covers the entire field, anchored by a concrete collar along the inside radius of the track. Erected during the winter months, the dome greatly increases playing time throughout the year.

The dome has had the biggest impact on U of T’s intramural programs, offering space for a number of waited-listed teams in a range of sports, including indoor soccer, field hockey, Ultimate Frisbee, flag football and lacrosse. It has also significantly expanded practice hours for Varsity Blues track & field, football, field hockey, soccer, lacrosse and rugby teams.

Community outreach – an important aspect of the Faculty of Physical Education and Health’s mandate – has also been enhanced by the dome, which has expanded the Junior Blues  program and created a brand new offering: a driving range for golfers  looking for an off-season practice space.
