Pengrowth Saddledome

Address: 555 Saddledome Rise S.E.

The Pengrowth Saddledome is Calgary's leader for entertainment excitement. Seating over 17,000, it has something for everyone. It's home to the NHL's Calgary Flames, the WHL's Calgary Hitmen. and the NLL's Calgary Roughnecks. It has also played host to big ticket concerts, rodeos, ice shows, circuses, conventions, and more.

The Saddledome's unique "saddle" design, representative of Calgary's strong western heritage, is only one aspect of the building's architectural excellence. The flowing, concave roof sets an intimate mood in the seating bowl. By reducing the interior volume by more than one-third of more conventionally constructed coliseums, the Saddledome makes even those in the upper bowl feel close to the action.

At the Saddledome, everyone has a great seat. Pillar-free, the seating bowl is highlighted by an overlapping three-tier design. The longest sight line from any seat in the house is only 60.9 metres (200 feet).
