Exhibition Stadium was a stadium that formerly stood at the Canadian National Exhibition grounds in Toronto, Ontario. Originally built for Canadian football and other events, the stadium was reconfigured in the mid- 1970s, and served as the home of the Toronto Blue Jays from 1977- 1989. It also served as the home of the Toronto Argonauts from 1959- 1988.

Stadiums had stood on the site since 1879, but a massive reconstruction took place in the late 1950s, building a large grandstand on one side of the field, and temporary stands on the other. When reopened in 1959, the stadium sat 25,303.

The stadium was rebuilt again in the 1970s to allow the expansion Toronto Blue Jays to play at the Ex, building additional seating opposite the large grandstand now in left field on the first base side and curving around to the third base side. It was apparently the only major league baseball stadium where the bleachers were covered but the main grandstand was not.

Because of the large field needed for Canadian football and the vaguely horseshoe-shape of the stadium, many of the seats down the right field line and in the bleachers in right-center were extremely far from the infield and faced each other rather than the action.

Because of these problems Exhibition Stadium was only intended to be a stop-gap measure until a domed stadium could be built closer to the downtown. The decision to build a retractable roof stadium - the first in North America - along with engineering and cost questions meant that SkyDome was not completed until 1989.

Exhibition Stadium lay mostly dormant over the following decade, except for the occasional concert or minor sporting event. It was demolished in 1999.
