DINOSAUR STADIUM

A new home for community & Sport

  • Dinosaur Stadium will be a place for the campus and community to cheer on the Dinos and it will also be a place for them to play. We look forward to welcoming the community to UCalgary as a new hub for recreational sport at all levels

  • We envision Dinosaur Stadium to be the home of minor and high school football in Calgary, where future Dinos come to develop and allow the game to grow at a grassroots level

  • Football will not be the only sport played Dinosaur Stadium -  soccer, rugby and other recreational and competitive sports will also utilize this facility

Bringing community sport to UCalgary

  • University of Calgary recognizes the current scarcity of sports infrastructure in Calgary. A new stadium will not only serve our Dinos varsity teams but also provide a much-needed facility for the entire Calgary community.

  • Located centrally on the UCalgary main campus, Dinosaur Stadium will be positioned to be easily accessible for families across Calgary. This strategic location will help ensure that community members, especially children, stay involved and engaged in sports.

  • As Calgary's population grows rapidly, the demand for year-round sports facilities is intensifying. With Dinosaur Stadium, we aim to accommodate this growth and make it easier for sports enthusiasts and athletes to find suitable field times.
