What’s new at the Grounds
The Halifax Wanderers have continued year-after-year improvements to the ‘temporary’ stadium at the Wanderers Grounds. Added upgrades lift our capacity to 6500 people.
A new partnership with Brigadoon introduces Brigadoon Corner on the stadium’s northwest corner. New elevated decks were also built on The Patio in front of The Kitchen (east grandstand). Accessible seating is now in the northwest of The Grounds near Brigadoon Corner.
