stampede corral

The Stampede Corral (also known as the Calgary Corral) is an ice hockey and rodeo arena in Calgary, Alberta. The arena was completed in 1950 at a cost of C$1.25 million. Seating 7,424, it is used in the annual Calgary Stampede. It was also home to the Calgary Cowboys of the WHA from 1975-1977 and the Calgary Flames of the NHL from 1980-1983. The Corral was built and is still owned by the Calgary Stampede non-profit organization, which leases the underlying land at $1/year from the city of Calgary. At the time of construction, it was the largest arena west of Toronto. It was officially opened on December 15, 1950. The first hockey game was held at the Corral on December 26, with the Calgary Stampeders beating the Edmonton Flyers in a Western Canada Senior Hockey League game.
