The Samseongoloondongjang (KOR: 삼선골운동장/三仙忽運動場) is a multi-purpose stadium in Songak, Songak Federal Province, Quebec and Shingoryeo. With a capacity of 82,500 reserved for football matches, it is the fourth largest stadium in all of Quebec and Shingoryeo, and currently stands as the second-largest stadium in the Q-League after Stade-Lionel-Mah in Joongyeong. Located in the Koreana district of mid-eastern City of Songak, it is accessible by three subway lines and is about a kilometre north of Commonwealth Park, where their inner-city rivals Montreal City calls home.

Named the 'Oval of Three Hermits' Gorge' in Shingoryeoite-Korean language, it also possesses the nickname of 'Theatre of Midnight Dreams'. It has been the home of Montreal Koreana's football and rugby divisions since 1909 and 1927, and has seen multiple renovations and expansions since, with the last renovation undertaken in 2054. It has hosted the final matches of the World Cup 73 and Champions League 18. It has also served as the grand finals venue for Commonwealth SupeRugby on multiple occasions.
