Calgary’s McMahon Stadium is getting long in the tooth after 66 years, sparking the University of Calgary to look into the construction of a new facility for its varsity teams.
The stadium, however, is a shared venue with the Canadian Football League’s Calgary Stampeders who would need a new home once McMahon is permanently shuttered. Located between the university campus and the city’s downtown core, McMahon Stadium is reaching the end of its functional life, Global News reports.
The university is exploring a facility that could accommodate a number of varsity sports with upwards of 7,000 seats with the addition of a seasonal dome.
With the university’s sights set on a new stadium, questions have arisen where the Stampeders might play in the future. One thought is to move the team to an upgraded stadium at the Calgary Stampede grounds.
