Orris Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium located in the Delk neighborhood of, Tofino, Zamastan. The stadium, which is sometimes referred to as Delk Stadium, was completed in March 2003 to host matches during the 2004 Summer Olympics. It is the home stadium for Tofino United FC. The stadium was originally built to hold 110,000 spectators, making it the third largest Olympic Stadium ever built and the largest stadium in Tofino, beating out Blackwater Energy Stadium which held more than 120,000 before its re-design in the early 2010s. In 2003, reconfiguration work was completed to shorten the north and south wings, and install movable seating. These changes reduced the capacity to 83,500 for a rectangular field and 82,500 for an oval field. Awnings were also added over the north and south stands, allowing most of the seating to be under cover. The stadium was engineered along sustainable lines, e.g., utilizing less steel in the roof structure than other stadiums.
