Here are a few major ones.
Let's start with McMahon Stadium and Mewata Stadium. Both get used for football, major ceremonies and other things.
For skating, a magnificent oval shaped dome modelled after the first oval stadium in America was built in Calgary. This beautiful huge, covered stadium is especially made for speed skating and leisure skating.
We call it the Olympic Oval as it was made for the 1988 Winter Olympic Games. It conjointly serves as a home to Oval X-Treme female ice hockey team of the Western Women's Hockey League.
The Saddledome and Stampede Corral, two Calgary hockey arenas located next to each other on the Stampede Grounds, provide ice arenas for Canada's favourite sport. The NHL- Calgary Flames, the WHL - Calgary Hitmen and other Alberta minor hockey and ice events.
Another beautifully and proudly standing facility in Calgary is the renowned Calgary Stampede's "Grandstand and Chuckwagon Track". This is the place where world's biggest outdoor rodeo takes place.
If you happen to view the roof of the white buildings you can see that the words "Calgary Stampede". At least you'll know where you are.
