A Whole New Way to Experience the Calgary Stampede

When you think of the Calgary Stampede, it is hard not to picture the energy; the roar of the crowd, the thrill of the rodeo, and the shared excitement that brings the city together each year.

Now, a new addition on the grounds is bringing that experience even closer.

The North Infield Expansion is designed to enhance how people experience one of Calgary’s most iconic events. Located alongside the rodeo arena and chuckwagon track, the building will serve as the operational heart of the action, supporting judging, broadcast, and production teams, while also opening up new ways for guests to take in the spectacle as it debuts for the 2026 Calgary Stampede.

Delivered by EllisDon in a Construction Management role, the project involved overseeing all aspects of construction and coordination to bring together both operational and guest-facing spaces.

For spectators, the experience goes beyond a seat in the stands. The facility includes seven private suites, a rooftop bar, and a dedicated medical bay to support riders, staff, and guests during events.
