Tofino Olympic Stadium is a multi-purpose outdoor stadium at Olympic Park in North Coome, Tofino. The stadium was constructed specifically for the 2004 Summer Olympics, serving as the athletics venue and as the site of their opening and closing ceremonies. Following the Games, it was renovated for multi-purpose use.
Holding 80,000 for the Olympics, it re-opened in July 2005 with 66,000 seats. Entertainment wise, Merlin Stay's Breakers' Tour (2022) broke two records at the stadium including the highest single night attendance of any show at the Stadium with over 80,000 people, and a total of 159,574 people over the span of two days.
