Infinity Park, the first rugby-specific stadium in the U.S., covers eight city blocks. At the heart is the rugby field, which is the home to Glendale’s men’s and women’s rugby clubs, both named the Raptors. Measuring 70 meters by 100 meters, the pitch was designed to look good and perform well amid the action above: The 9-inch sand base field supports natural gross sod, which is reinforced with polypropylene fibers. Stadium lighting allows matches at any time of day. In addition to Raptors games, Infinity Park hosts multiple open tournaments every year.
