Pengrowth Saddledome Tickets

“What’s with the roof?” That’s what you’ll hear among newcomers to the Pengrowth Saddledome. Before taking their seats inside the arena, new visitors often spend a few minutes admiring the roofline of the Pengrowth Saddledome, which is, in technical terms, an inverted hyperbolic paraboloid. That a mouthful but it’s just a fancy way of saying the roof is the shape of a saddle. The architecture makes the Pengrowth Saddledome memorable but what’s inside is what gives it the finishing touches.

The seating chart for the Pengrowth Saddledome reveals the reasoning behind its unique roofline. Because of its construction design, the Pengrowth Saddledome can seat nearly 20,000, but more importantly it can put those seats much closer to the center of the ice than most traditional hockey arenas. That makes those Calgary Flames tickets one of the most exciting hockey tickets around. After all, hockey is action, and getting in close is crucial to enjoying the game.

Being close to the action is also important when your favorite musicians come to town and seats in the Pengrowth Saddledome are hard to beat for seeing a concert. The Saddledome is the place to play in Calgary and some of the top acts in rock, country, rap, and hip-hop have filled the seats at the Saddledome. So spend a few minutes admiring the roof, but when you get inside and look at the seating in the Pengrowth Saddledome, that’s when you’ll begin to appreciate the unique architecture of this Calgary landmark.
