For the first time ever, the Vanier Cup is coming to Kingston, Ont., and the city will have the chance to show off its hosting skills as it hosts back-to-back championship games.
The city and Queen’s University have been tapped to host the U Sports championship for the 2023 and 2024 season at Richardson Memorial Stadium.It’s a partnership between Queen’s University, the Queen’s Gaels Football team and the city of Kingston.
Linda Melnick, executive director for Queen’s athletics and recreation, says it’s exciting for the football program and the school. Lisette Johnson-Stapley, U Sports Chief Sport Officer, explains that part of why Kingston was chosen was because it’s the first city to bid to host two games back-to-back.
Tourism is a big part of Daft Brewing’s business, which sits near campus and the stadium. Owner Adam Rondeau says events like this are great help. Queen's University President Patrick Deane says any discussions will happen with the city, and will come in the lead up to the games.
