Sobeys Stadium is the venue for the National Bank Open presented by Rogers, a professional tournament on the ATP World Tour and WTA circuits, held annually.

The grounds serve as the national and provincial tennis training centre year-round, offering 16 courts (eight of which are indoors).

During the academic year, a discounted fee on indoor courts is offered to York students weekdays during daytime hours.

The facility is located on the northwestern edge of York University's, south-east of Jane Street and Steeles Avenue West, at the intersection of Shoreham Drive, and Pond Road.

The two men in their mid-20s who excavated the cave had no criminal intent and are not affiliated with York University, Rexall Centre (as it was then called), or the Pan Am Games, and the tunnel was created as a hobby.
