It is located at Lansdowne Park, on the southern edge of The Glebe neighbourhood, where Bank Street crosses the Rideau Canal.

It was demolished in 1967 to build a new set of stands with an integrated ice hockey arena underneath, then known as the Ottawa Civic Centre.

In the late 1990s, the stadium was threatened with demolition when then-city councillor (and future Ottawa mayor) Jim Watson led a drive by the municipal government to allow a private developer to reconfigure Lansdowne Park.

After the closure of the stands, then-Ottawa mayor Larry O'Brien was quoted saying that this was an opportunity to do a review of the usage and the facilities of Lansdowne Park.

The City, which had received a competing stadium proposal located in Kanata, reviewed the plans and agreed to a conditional agreement with OSEG.

OSEG would concentrate on the stadium and commercial/residential precinct, and Ottawa would return the rest of Lansdowne Park to green space.

Faced with opposition to the plan, the City proceeded slowly with the proposal, seeking out legal opinions, traffic studies, and an urban park design competition for Lansdowne.

In June 2010 it was announced that Ottawa City Council had approved a redevelopment plan put forward by OSEG to renovate Frank Clair Stadium and build 350,000 sq ft (33,000 m2) of commercial retail space, 250 housing units and an urban park on the site.

The Ottawa Fury opened their fall season on the same weekend after playing their previous home games that year at Keith Harris Stadium at Carleton University.

On October 29, 2014, the press box and media centre at the stadium were named for Ernie Calcutt, a former broadcaster for the Ottawa Rough Riders.

On July 31, 2016, the CFL awarded Ottawa the 105th Grey Cup game, to be played at TD Place Stadium in 2017, as part of celebrations to mark 150 years of Confederation.

In 2014, Ottawa Fury FC joined the North American Soccer League (NASL) and made an agreement to use the stadium as its home grounds.

[17] In 2019, Ottawa Fury ceased operations after it lost its sanctioning to play in the USL Championship and refused to join the Canadian Premier League (CPL).

[18] On 27 February 2024, it was announced that TD Place Stadium would host two Canadian international rugby union matches, against Scotland on 6 July 2024[19] and against Romania six days later.
