Ottawa REDBLACKS History
The Ottawa REDBLACKS are a professional football team in the Canadian Football League (CFL). The REDBLACKS are the third CFL team to call Capital City their home, and upon their founding in 2014, ended Ottawa’s nearly decade-long run without a professional football team. In 2016, the team brought the Grey Cup back to Ottawa for the first time in 40 years, becoming the fastest Canadian-based expansion franchise to win a championship in a North American professional sports league with three seasons played. Ottawa has also claimed three East Division titles, in 2015, 2016 and 2018. Across its first ten seasons, the REDBLACKS roster has featured two Most Outstanding Canadian Award winners, one Most Outstanding Player and one Most Outstanding Defensive Player.

Ottawa REDBLACKS at The Stadium at TD Place
The Stadium at TD Place Stadium has been the home of the Ottawa REDBLACKS since 2014, though its history dates back to the city’s first CFL team, the Ottawa Rough Riders. Opened in 1908 as a stadium surrounding a playing field built in the 1870s, the former Lansdowne Park has hosted matches for football, soccer and rugby as well the Summer Olympics and outdoor hockey exhibitions. The 24,000-seat venue hosted its seventh Grey Cup championship game, and first as TD Place Stadium, at the 105th matchup in 2017. At home games for the Ottawa REDBLACKS, fans can cheer along with the team’s lumberjack mascot, Big Joe.

Great game. Great atmosphere. Big win. Unfortunately I had to look at the field of play through a railing. These seats should be labeled as “obstructed view” and sold at a reduced price. In my opinion that is. South stands. Section PP Row 6 Seats 26 and 25.
First time attending, and first win since 2021. We must be a good omen. Really enjoyable experience. Seating and stadium is excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful. Crowd were super fun. Will be going again!
Great value - kid friendly - beautiful people - no such things as a bad seat or too long a line
So much fun! I was nervous as it was my first time going to TD place. Had no trouble getting to the venue or getting in the gates. Ushers were very helpful to help me find my seat. The game was a blast, especially because the Redblacks won :). All the other fans sitting in my section were very nice to be around, true fans who were having a great time. I want to go to more games this summer!!
Watching a Canadian "football"match live in the stadium is excruciating, mainly due to the interruptions and breaks in the game EVERY FEW SECONDS. These breaks are frequently and intentionally extended to allow for commercial breaks for those people watching the game at home on TV. In other words, TV dictates the course of the game, rather than the other way round. As a result, it is not possible for any momentum to build in the game. The cheerleaders only partially compensate for these downsides. To be fair, though, the atmosphere in the stadium was still great and never remotely intimidating or aggressive.
Great site lines and friendly staff. Home fans were very friendly.
Great atmosphere, clean venue, $5 Bud beer and the best part....for once I didnt have to wait in a line up for the ladies room. The porta potties was a great added touch.
Great experience, staff are wonderful. I will be back soon !
CF-18 flyby was nice. Redblacks for this game …. Well, the quarterback couldn’t throw, the receivers couldn’t catch and the défense couldn’t tackle … they made Calgary look really good! Need I say more … They can only get better.
Home opening game, taking ny eldest for the first time. It was amazing see her get into the game and chanting loudly to support the team. Excited to go again!
Boring home opener. Not even a sellout. Beers way too expensive. Give us a reason to come to games because clearly the team isnt getting it done.
Ticketmaster mobile tickets were easy to transfer to my kids to meet me at TD Place and scanning to get in was quick & easy. If Ticketmaster could have gotten the RedBlacks a victory the night would have been perfect. All in all a great night at the park except for the final result.
My second time at the Stadium for an event. Back in 2017 for the Grey Cup, did not have mobility issues, but walked with a cane this time. I was seated in an upper section of the north side of the stadium. Surprised that there were no elevators for use at all. Staff had to use a combination of wheelchairs and golf carts on a built in concrete ramp to move those of us experiencing mobility issues. While it worked, it required a number of staff and some time to move people who needed assistance. To their credit, the staff were all fantastic, friendly and helpful. There was mention of some construction of condos or other such on the north side as part of future expansion plans. Perhaps elevators to the upper levels of the north side could be added to those plans?
Venue was great; crowd was great; entertainment value was top-notch. Redblacks lost an exciting nail-biter to Montreal, tough loss. But I would gladly go again before the season is up! Just, what is with these $12 beers? I found the beer prices to be excessive. But great game.
Great game, too bad it ended in a loss, but great experience for myself and the kiddos.
So my family and I were sitting in section BB Row 23. Further down from us was a redblacks fan that kept flipping myself and family off when we cheered for the Argos. This happened right in plan sight of a security camera and no one from security showed up to speak to the gentleman giving the finger. Knowing that such actions aren't dealt with right away makes me not wanna return. Let people trash talk all they want but flipping the finger should get you a chat with security. If they don't stop after that and they should be removed. Also limited how much people can drink.
It was absolutely amazing and everyone there was so friendly. Couldn’t ask for a better day!
This venue is great - the weather fantastic- the food - well I have had worse, the team just can’t finish - very disappointing and frustrating to the fans who keep coming out to support them.
Great game and as a matinee the weather was great also. OC Transpo shuttle went well. Will do again.
The venue is very nice and the crowd was great supportive but the team is really not worth watching even at a discounted price. I’m a long supporter of the cfl but this is truly awful.
