IGA Stadium

IGA Stadium (French: Stade IGA), originally Stade Du Maurier and formerly Stade Uniprix  after a major pharmacy chain in Quebec. The stadium is the main tennis court at the Canadian Open tournament in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Built in 1996 and completed the following year, the centre court stadium currently holds 11,815 spectators. On Monday, April 16, 2018, Tennis Canada announced the stadium would have a naming rights contract with Empire Company, a Nova Scotia-based conglomerate that branded the stadium as Stade IGA, for their licenced grocer brand operated by their subsidiary Sobeys. The stadium grounds is located in Jarry Park within the borough of Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension.

The twelve courts at this venue use the DecoTurf cushioned acrylic surface, a surface previously used at the U.S. Open Grand Slam event. The Canadian Open is part of the US Open Series of events leading into the Grand Slam event. Uniquely, the Canadian Open is held in two cities, Montreal and Toronto, with the men and women alternating venues each year. Beginning 2021, IGA Stadium hosts the WTA in odd-numbered years and hosts the ATP in even-numbered years.

Its core seating area is a remnant of the former Major League Baseball stadium on the site, Jarry Park Stadium, the original home of the Montreal Expos (now Washington Nationals), with the main road being 285 Rue Gary Carter, named for the National Baseball Hall of Fame inductee whose career primarily was in the city.
