Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation Reviews

Had a great time panther won 6 to 3. Had great amount of drinks whoa ya

It is a great place go-to watch a hockey game with my friend

We need a new House....a cross between Rogers center and BC place

This arena is getting old....we need to build a new one!

Love attending events here. Disappointed by current lack of healthy choices available on concourse other than deep-fried, burgers or hot dogs.

The views are good, but the concourse gets really busy during Flames games. Press level is not easily accessible, lots of stairs to climb, and the elevators are very, very well hidden.

Some fine architecture, the auld venerable Stadium of Calgary !!

Calgary needs a new arena. The Saddledome is old and the seats aren't very comfortable. Lots of food and drink options including Skip the Dishes.

Check ou my review on TripAdvisor for more details. Great venue and nice staff. Watched the Hitmen play and win.

Enjoyed a concert there. Awesome organization, staff, security and volunteers to make the experience unforgetable and enjoyable.

Everything was great except my "Budweiser " beer was skunky and bitter..had to toss it out . Guess its worth the walk for a food Bud light !

Generally try to avoid coming here unless there's a good event.

If you're here, definitely hunt down Ceasar town and get a "some Ceasar" drink and a snack, that
A all I'm saying :)

First time stampede breakfast inside Sadledoom.

Great place to watch NHL hockey. The city does not need a new arena

Great venue, nice place but they jacked up the beer price to $10.50. highballs $8.50.

We need a new one!!! Other than that.. staff are always amazing here!

We attended a "family" Hitmen game, organized by daycare, for which we were required to purchase tickets through Eventbrite, and then pick up tickets at the stadium.

When we arrived at the stadium, small children in tow, security and staff were rude, unhelpful, and made it very clear that we were bothering them by having been given the wrong information. It was as though they wanted to teach us a lesson for being "bad customers" and for making them work.

The Hitmen have been trying to increase attendance for years. The stadium was less than 1/3 full for the entirety of the game, and we arrived at the beginning of the second period. The security staff and ushers were standing around doing nothing, which made this treatment even more noticeably unacceptable, particularly in front of our small chikdren. We had demonstrable proof of having paid for tickets, with no information as to where to pick up the actual tickets. Turns out, the ushers had the information, they just wanted to make sure we knew we were bothering them and interrupting their standing around time.

Hopefully someone in management for the Hitmen reads this and shares with your marketing team why your ticket sales are what they are.

As a side note, there's also no reason for the concession prices to be what they are ($27 for a popcorn and 2 drinks). Add to this the cost of the tickets themselves, plus parking (after experiencing unhelpful ushers and rude security) and you've created a "never again" memory for a family, even though the game itself was fun.

The addition of Spolumbos is for sure a plus here. This place is getting older but still is good for shows and sports. Easily gets crowded. The hallways are small and the bathrooms are few.

I love the atmosphere "from the saddle" in the Saddledome. I will miss it when they move.

Older building acoustics aren't the greatest. For the price a person pays for tickets and concessions, and fan memorabilia I would expect a little more

At first I thought this was a giant cowboy hat under construction, but upon further inspection realized it was a saddle that people played sports in.

I watched a hockey game and ate a hotdog. It was a pretty good hot dog

Food and drinks are super expensive and not of great value. Sound for concerts is pretty good as is the seating. Not enough bathrooms in my opinion. The venue needs to be updated.

Had a blast at the north american lacrosse championship

When planning my trip, I made sure a visit to the Saddledome was included in the itinerary. I went to the season opener for the Calgary Flames and had a great time. Security wasn't bad as I entered and met some great people too. The food selection isn't bad and the beer selection was better. Even if you aren't a Flames fan, you need to go for the atmosphere. So much fun!!

Calgary needs a new arena so bad, not enough restrooms (sometimes 20 min waits) never know when last call is for liquor, artist usually bypass Calgary in general due to the outdated structural supports for their shows, I'm not a smoker but banning that from the arena is rediculous they just smoke in the bathrooms now

This place is insanely expensive! They charge way too much for parking and the parking lot is a gong show! You would think that if they have the nerve to openly rip you off, at least it should be a somewhat pleasant experience. IT WAS NOT!

The best arena in Calgary... The only one used for Flames games...

Nice place for NHL as well as a rock convert. Ok food, a litle pricy beer. Sometes they accept just credit cards.

Amazing vibe, all the classic choice for food (actually decently priced!)

As a tourist & newcomer - id recommend getting the popcorn with butter! Download the Saddledome app for an EPIC experience.

I sat in my chair and for $1 extra you can have a whole food order delivered to your seat! Or even merchandise! (I got a jersey delivered as a souvenir.)

Amazing place to visit (see a game) !

Attended the Steve Miller concert with Peter Frampton concert

it a great place to visit for your family and your friends go see a good game l love go and see game

Found few staff a bit rude. Its like they think everyone's going to give them a hard time even before they do

Friendly staff, and great atmosphere. This is a great place to visit and watch an event.

My first Hockey Experience ever was in the home of the Calgary Flames at the ScotiaBank Saddledome.

It was a well planned event especially with the Jersey hanging of Jerome Iginla.

All staff of the Saddledome are friendly, ready to help and well coordinated.

Such a large number of food vendors too.

My love for hockey is ignited. Trust me it s not the same as seen on TV !

Only tricky thing as any huge event is parking.

Every day is a Winding Road.
Sheryl Crow.

Great venue for a hockey game. Amazing acoustics, the announcer's voice was very clear. Lots of interaction with the audience.

First time I have been there, in 10 years. Such a great experiance.

Snoop was hype. build is old and decrepit. flames need a new one

Venue is soon to be demolished to make way for a new event centre which is good as it is the oldest rink in the NHL but ibhave a lot of great hockey and concert memories here!

This was a great example of a fire hazard. The hallways were cramped, and the foot traffic couldn t move. Our seats were on the 2nd level and oh boy did it take 30+ minutes to get up there. There was no rhyme or reason to how they directed that foot traffic. Concessions were impossible to get to, and the beer lines were long and slow.

If you re going to an Alberta event, choose Edmonton. It s much easier and safer to boot

Watched the Calgary Hitmen with family. Perfect family atmosphere. A lot of activities for kids on the concourse, i.e. face painting

Time for a new facility... Please! Worst rink in the NHL and a horrible concert venue.
Get the Calgary Next project done. No brainer!

Classic rink soon to be replaced. Easy to get to, large corridors, and spectacular entertainment at Flames games (lots of fire!)

Jeff Dunham was awesome! Seats very tight (or wide people? )

Had a really great time in a box. There aren't bad seats here

Everyone says this place needs upgrades but I say they re boujie. This is a great arena with a wide range in terms of its seating capacity. It can host the Brier and NHL hockey games as well as the NLL.

It s a bit of a concrete jungle but what will it take to upgrade? Accessible via the Calgary transit line, the C train, and lots of parking available.

Drove in to see the Pittsburgh Penguins play & what a result!!! Close location to the hotel I was at, entry was simple but there was 1 guard who was incredibly rude (I was told he was new to the job but still), amenities close by.

I attended Day 1 of the JW Convention - Be Courageous and it was phenomenal. The parking attendants, staff were kind and grounds were clean inside and out plus the event itself was great!

Get rid of it and get rid of the $11 beers. It's embarrassing

Very old and in need of a major overhaul. The nose bleed section needs better accessibility to washrooms. I think security does a great job holding the crowd down but there are always some people that make it harder for others to enjoy themselves. Guess that's just a product of alcohol mixed with idiot. Other then that nothing much to say.

First time in attendance. Looking forward to many more games.

Needs to be upgraded, bathrooms are lacking and the seating could be better.

The Uber pick up and drop off section is a very nice addition

Who doesn't love the saddle shape of the building.
Visit is now as in a few years it will be gone.

Awesome. Love the fact that is visually represents Calgary so well with the saddle. Lots of spirit in this place. The typical overpriced beer and crowdedness but that's normal for such a size. I wouldn't recommend sitting at the vey back facing the stage for concerts as the acoustics are terrible and give no justice to the performer. Hope they keep it around awhile longer.
