Scotiabank Saddledome

Nestled in Calgary’s Stampede Park, the Scotiabank Saddledome has been a cornerstone of the city’s sports and entertainment scene since its opening in 1983. Its distinctive saddle-shaped roof not only pays homage to Calgary’s Western heritage but also makes it a standout architectural landmark.

Originally constructed for the 1988 Winter Olympics, the Saddledome hosted figure skating and ice hockey events, marking its place on the international stage.

Today, the arena is home to several teams:

  • Calgary Flames (NHL)

  • Calgary Hitmen (WHL)

  • Calgary Roughnecks (NLL)

  • Calgary Wranglers (AHL)​

Beyond sports, the Saddledome hosts over 150 events annually, including concerts, conventions, and shows, drawing more than 1.5 million guests each year.

With a seating capacity of approximately 19,289, the arena offers various amenities, including luxury suites, club seating, and multiple dining options like the Saddleroom Grill.
