About the building
The Calgary Stampede’s venues site calls the BMO Centre “Western Canada’s Largest Convention Centre”. According to the City of Calgary, a $500 million expansion, funded in equal shares by the federal, Alberta and City governments, added 565,000 square feet and brought the building to over one million square feet; it opened on June 5 2024. The expansion replaced Hall A and the Stampede Corral, and added two ballrooms, 38 meeting rooms and a 100,000-square-foot outdoor plaza. Other buildings on and next to Stampede Park are on Venues at Victoria Park.
