The stadium was originally built in 1996 and was formerly known as Uniprix Stadium.
The surface of the courts consists of Decoturf, the same acrylic material used for the US Open.
The site was constructed on the grounds of a former municipal dump that was repurposed into Jarry Park.
Court Central features a unique, asymmetrical seating bowl design to maximize sightlines.
During the National Bank Open, the site is transformed into a massive fan festival with pop-up boutiques and public practice courts.
IGA Stadium is the primary venue for the National Bank Open, a prestigious ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 tennis tournament. Located within Jarry Park, the complex features 28 hard-court tennis courts in total. The main venue, Court Central, is a massive concrete structure that can accommodate over 11,000 spectators. The site serves as the training hub for Tennis Canada's national training program throughout the year. The grounds are designed to host both professional touring events and community tennis programs. The facility is situated in the Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension borough of Montreal.
The upper concourse of Court Central offers an expansive view of the entire court and the surrounding Jarry Park greenery.
Bring high-quality sunscreen and a hat, as seating areas have limited shade coverage during day matches.
Check the official tournament schedule in advance, as the stadium is primarily active during major tennis events.
Carry a reusable water bottle, as the venue provides hydration stations for spectators.
Do not attempt to access restricted player-only zones near the locker rooms and practice courts.
The facility is generally open year-round for private bookings, but access to the main stadium bowl is restricted to specific event dates.
Athletic casual dress is recommended; loud noise is prohibited during active tennis rallies.
