CFL.ca Staff

CALGARY — CalgaryNEXT Multisport Fieldhouse Stadium will feature state-of-the-art sports and world-class athletic training facilities. It will be the anchor for a thriving field sport community and with the arena event centre will be the catalyst for new economic growth on the western edge of Calgary’s urban core.

Calgary’s first Multisport Fieldhouse Stadium will be a multi-functional space, giving Calgarians access to year-round, state-of-the-art field sport and fitness facilities.

The multisport field centre will house a FIFA regulation pitch and a CFL regulation football field in a single configurable space. We will be able to host a major soccer match in the morning and turn over the space for football for Stampeders in the afternoon.

At the same time, court sports such as basketball, volleyball and badminton can by played. Beyond soccer and football uses, track and field, training and events will occupy the main field zone.

The fieldhouse will be the new training and game-day facility for the Calgary Stampeders. It will provide a comfortable climate-controlled indoor experience for players and fans.
