 Frank Clair Stadium in Lansdwone Park Frank Clair Stadium at Lansdowne Park (originally known simply as Lansdowne Park) is a Canadian football stadium in Ottawa, Ontario.
The stadium, which was originally completed in 1908, seats 30,927 for football, consisting of a single-decked grandstand on one side of the field and a double-decked grandstand on the opposite side. The north side stands are located above the Ottawa Civic Centre. During Renegades games (and formerly Rough Riders games) fans are known to yell out "North Side Sucks!" or "South Side Sucks!" depending on which side of field they are on.
The stadium was the home of the Ottawa Rough Riders of the CFL from 1908-1996, when the team went defunct, and the home of the Ottawa Renegades of the CFL from 2002 to the present.
Frank Clair Stadium played host to the 92nd Grey Cup, in which the Toronto Argonauts defeated the B.C. Lions to become the 2004 CFL Champion.
