Scotiabank Saddledome: Calgary’s Iconic Arena Located in Stampede Park, Calgary, Alberta, the Scotiabank Saddledome is a legendary multi-purpose indoor arena known for its distinctive saddle-shaped roof and deep ties to Canadian sports and culture. Opened in 1983, it’s one of the oldest arenas in the NHL and a centerpiece of Calgary’s skyline. What It Contains The Saddledome is packed with features that cater to sports fans, concertgoers, and event enthusiasts: Seating capacity: ~19,289 for hockey; ~20,000 for concerts Home teams: Calgary Flames (NHL), Calgary Hitmen (WHL), Calgary Roughnecks (NLL), Calgary Wranglers (AHL), Calgary Surge (CEBL) Luxury suites & clubs: Including the Budweiser King Club, Saddledome Grill, and Iconic Platinum Club Concession stands: Offering everything from gourmet hot dogs to specialty beers and Jugo Juice Accessibility: Connected to Calgary’s C-Train system via Victoria Park/Stampede station Event versatility: Hosts hockey, concerts, figure skating, rodeo events, and more Why It’s Famous The Saddledome’s fame stems from its history, architecture, and cultural significance: Olympic legacy: Built for the 1988 Winter Olympics, it hosted figure skating and ice hockey Architectural marvel: Its hyperbolic paraboloid roof allows for unobstructed views and reflects Calgary’s Western heritage Historic events: From NHL showdowns to concerts by global superstars like Reba McEntire Civic pride: A symbol of Calgary’s growth and resilience—especially after surviving the 2013 Alberta floods Cultural hub: Integral to the Calgary Stampede, hosting events and drawing crowds from around the world Fun Fact The Saddledome was once the largest arena ever used at the Winter Olympics, and its roof design still holds a world record for the longest-spanning concrete shell of its kind. Whether you're catching a Flames game, rocking out at a concert, or marveling at its saddle-shaped silhouette, the Scotiabank Saddledome is a must-see landmark that blends sport, spectacle, and Western spirit.

This venue has been here for decades. It’s been an important and iconic building ingrained into to the culture of Calgary. But I recently learned that a new venue is going to be built next to it and therefore demolished there after. Kind of sad really but that is life. We have to keep building destroying and building. In any case it’s a nice looking venue. 👍😎

A disappointment, we got to the venue it was mismanaged, prices where we'll ok i know things are expensive but really just about 9$ for a slice of pizza 73, 15$ for a coolers beer, wow I now know why your province thinks its an unfair world. The sound quality of apocalyptica was a 5, I am going to assume it will get worse, and yes I can compare them to the other 12 times seeing them..... Lindsay sterling was great except for the sound, like maybe some proper techs? Maybe check with me next time during a sound check because you butchered this young ladies set. Why are there not the same sound problems with halestorm???? Hmmm seems like you intentionally messed with Lindsay's quality.....

It was tough eing an Edmonton Oilers fan and being in there .. haha since its enemy territory but had to see Lainey Wilson and she made it worth it. We had some great seats for the venue. Seats were comfy compared to other arenas we have been to. It was near impossible to get an Uber or cab after the event and had to walk a few blocks away from the choas to get back to our hotel.
