University Stadium, also known as Knight–Newbrough Field and formerly known as Seagram Stadium, is a stadium on the campus of Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario. The stadium has a capacity of 6,000 and serves as home to the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks football and rugby teams.
It also served for several years as the home field of soccer side K–W United FC which ceased operations in 2018. Facilities include space for recreational programs and Kinesiology classrooms; there is also a large gym and the football field. The stadium is closed to the public.
The field was also used by the nearby University of Waterloo Warriors for their home football games. The Warriors played their final season at the stadium in 2008; they then moved to the new Warrior Field on the University of Waterloo north campus on Columbia St.
