Tim Hortons Field (French: Terrain Tim Hortons), nicknamed "The Donut Box";[1] is a multi-purpose stadium in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.[8] Built as a replacement for Ivor Wynne Stadium, Tim Hortons Field is primarily used for Canadian football and soccer, and is the home of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League and Forge FC of the Canadian Premier League.[9] During the 2015 Pan American Games, it was referred to as CIBC Hamilton Pan Am Soccer Stadium.[10] The stadium opened in September 2014, two months after its original anticipated completion date of June 30, 2014.[11][12]
