Getting to Scotiabank Saddledome
Calgary Flames · Calgary, AB
The Saddledome is in the middle of Calgary's Culture + Entertainment District rebuild, and its own guidance reflects that honestly: it names the CTrain station and five bus routes, then tells drivers it cannot give them a route because the roads keep changing. Transit is not a suggestion here, it is the arena's recommendation.
Tips & Fan Reports
Take the CTrain from Marlborough station to City Hall then transfer to the Red Line. Follow the giant crowd of Flames jerseys and you can not miss it.
Check the C+E Access Map before setting off: district construction closes roads and restricts pedestrian access with little notice.
Bus routes 10, 17, 24, 69 and 300 all serve the Saddledome.
The arena actively steers visitors to transit while the rebuild continues, and parking is limited.
Victoria Park/Stampede is the CTrain station — the arena names it directly.
Pick-up and drop-off is the Stampede trail West Plaza, between the Saddledome and the BMO Centre.
Ways In
- Driving
- The arena publishes no driving route. Construction in the Culture + Entertainment District has vehicle and pedestrian access restricted and parking limited, so it points drivers at a mapping app, asks them to follow the detour and wayfinding signs, and to check the C+E Access Map for live road closures. Pick-up and drop-off is by the Stampede trail West Plaza, between the Saddledome and the BMO Centre.
- Public Transit
- Take the CTrain and get off at Victoria Park/Stampede Station. Calgary Transit bus routes 10, 17, 24, 69 and 300 also serve the arena.
- Rideshare
- Uber/Lyft drop-off on Olympic Way near the north entrance. Post-game pickup on the same street. Expect 10-minute waits after games.

- Transit
Calgary Transit 2026 fares: "Adult Single Ride 2026: $4.00", Adult Day Pass $12.65 (Canadian dollars). The downtown Free Fare Zone along 7 Avenue, between Downtown West-Kerby and City Hall-Bow Valley College, has run since 1981 and remains in effect -- it was surveyed in early 2026 for a Fare Revenue Policy review and no decision has been made, so $0 is current and worth re-checking after Council rules
