Travel
Overview
The Saddledome sits on the Stampede grounds in southeast Calgary, accessible from Macleod Trail, Olympic Way, and 17th Avenue SE. The CTrain light rail is the best transit option, Victoria Park/Stampede station is a 5-minute walk from the arena and the ride is free from downtown. Calgary's +15 Skywalk connects downtown buildings with enclosed, heated walkways, essential for winter game nights. Driving is straightforward but winter conditions require extra caution on Calgary roads.
