Where is Stampede Park?
The Calgary Stampede publishes no single street address for Stampede Park; it places the grounds along Macleod Trail between 12 Avenue SE and 25 Avenue SE. The Calgary Stampede venues site says the park sits between the Erlton/Stampede and Victoria Park/Stampede CTrain stations, both on the Red Line, with CTrain and bus service all year. The Stampede recommends Victoria Park/Stampede station for the BMO Centre, Cowboys Casino and the Saddledome, and Erlton/Stampede station for GMC Stadium. Station details: Victoria Park/Stampede CTrain station guide. All routes in: Getting to Victoria Park.
Scotiabank Saddledome
The Saddledome opened on October 15 1983, according to its building history page and the City of Calgary. It hosted events of the 1988 Olympic Winter Games and was unveiled as the Scotiabank Saddledome in 1995. The venue states seating for over 19,000 and lists four tenants: the Flames, Wranglers, Hitmen and Roughnecks. Home dates for all four are on Teams at Victoria Park.
Is this the Saddledome’s last season? The Calgary Flames announced on March 21 2026 that “2026-2027 will mark the Farewell Season for CSEC clubs & operations inside the Scotiabank Saddledome.” The City of Calgary states it will demolish the Saddledome when Scotia Place opens.
