Over a century ago, the Wanderers Grounds was the beating heart of the Halifax peninsula. From our city’s earliest days, our community has gathered together on this hallowed ground, perfectly positioned between the iconic Citadel Hill and the beautiful Public Gardens. From Rugby to Soccer to Lawn Bowling to Track and Field to Boxing to Baseball, the Grounds gave our community a place to gather and celebrate our heroes, whether it was the local boys proudly representing their family and friends as members of the Wanderers Amateur Athletic Club or it was welcoming the world’s biggest baseball star at the time, the legendary Babe Ruth. For the last 50 years however the grounds have quietly sat, allowing the odd school or pickup game but patiently waiting for the day it could once again roar to life. Well, that day came on May 4th, 2019 when a sold out crowd filed into the Wanderers Grounds from all corners of the downtown to cheer on their Halifax Wanderers Football Club. The team went on to win the inaugural home match with a 2-1 victory. While only 6,244 fans were able to squeeze into the grounds that fateful day, over 20,000 seem to be able to recount their excitement at being part of Halifax history and that number is surely to grow as the years continue to pass.
Halifax now boasts the highest attendence averages for the entire CPL, which includes this cache owners as a season ticket owner.
