Friends, the expectation right now is that fans will be in attendance when the Calgary Flames begin their pre-season schedule on Sept. 26. For fans, it’ll be the first time they trek down to the Saddledome for a sporting event since Mar. 8, 2020 – when the Flames lost to Vegas 5-2.
A lot of things have changed at Stampede Park since the last time fans were down there – and more will change in the coming months.
The Corral is gone!
The Stampede Corral opened in 1950 and was the home of the Calgary Flames from 1980-83, as well as the city’s primary big arena until the Saddledome opened in 1983.
