Multi-purpose Stadium
A multi-purpose stadium is a type of stadium designed to be easily used by multiple types of events.

Football uses a rectangular field while baseball is played on a diamond and large outfield. Since Canadian football fields are larger than American ones, the design specifications for Canadian facilities is somewhat less demanding.
