 Dukin' it out with the St.
Louis Blues by madamx
The games are held in The Pengrowth Saddledome-- The building is a landmark in Calgary, with it's distinctive design -- like a saddle.
My husband and I are more fans of The Calgary Hitmen, as decent Flames's tickets prices have become almost unaccessible -- also the action is better with the Hitmen as they are looking to get drafted to the NHL. A single Hitmen ticket is about $15.00, where a Flames ticket in the "nosebleed" section of the Saddledome is $32.00; good seats going for around $100.00. With the Hitmen tickets, you can basically sit anywhere you want. Attend a Hitmen game to get more bang for your buck.

 Go Stamps Go!!! by madamx
You can now catch the Stampeders in action at McMahon Stadium during the summer into fall. Single game tickets are $27.00 to $55.00, and the big game to catch is usually the Labor Day Classic (held on Labor Day in September) where the Stamps play their arch enemies, the Edmonton Eskimos.

If you're into rock climbing, or want to try it, they also have an indoor climbing wall. Leave a Comment

 THE FLAMES LOGO-Calgary. by mamasan69
I happen to be a big fan of the flames and enjoy a night out, having a few drinks, something to eat and watching a good game of hockey. Depending on where you sit in the Saddledome, the prices are quite reasonable, even for the family($15-25each).
***UPDATE**** The Calgary Flames are currently playing the Detriot Red Wings in round one of this year playoffs. The first two games didn't go to good for the Flames, hopefully they can rebound in the next games at home.....GO FLAMES GO!!!!
Everything from food to jerseys can be purchased in the concourse of the Saddledome. Leave a Comment Theme: Sports WatchingAddress: Pengrowth Saddle Dome.Phone: (403)777-4646Directions: 555-Saddledome Rise. S.E. Calgary, Alberta T2G2W1Website: www.calgaryflames.com

It is a higher priced fitness club located in Bankers Hall Downtown, and has a general area as well as an executive area with hot tubs, saunas and its own equipment (mens side and ladies side).
Its a great place if you want an upper scale health club, and if you say you know me, they will be extra helpful (either that or kick you out-I am known as the employee with theo loudest laugh and the most tasteless jokes...c'est la vie:))
The busiest time of day here is before 9 am or during the lunch hour, due to the fact it is in the downtown core. But due to the fact that there are a variety of machines and classes provided, it is never a long wait to get onto a piece of equipment. There is also a swimming pool and free towl service. Laundry service is provided on request as well.
Unfortuntaley, it is a private club, so unless you know a member or have guest passes, you are unable to just drop in. Leave a Comment

In July and August rafting is popular on the Bow and Elbow Rivers. The Elbow is quite tranquil and is popular for tubing because in most places you can literally walk across the river. The Bow river is much wider, colder and has a strong current so rafts should be used in preferences to inner tubes. People have drowned on the Bow river, as recently as this year (2005), so understand the risks before having your fun.
For the Elbow River, start just below the Glenmore Dam, and sail down to Stanley Park or Lindsay Park. On the Bow, start at either Bearspaw Dam or Bowness Park, and float down to Princes Island Park. The Bow also has a weir (small dam) across the river, just below the Zoo. If you sail down this far, be sure to get to the right (south) bank where there is a portage across the dam.
Please note that persons occupying a vessel while on Calgary waterways must wear a life jacket (personal floatation device). This City of Calgary By-Law is enforced by the Calgary Police Service in conjunction with the Calgary Fire Department. The Calgary Fire Department regularly patrols the Bow River in a power boat and persons not in compliance with the life jacket ruling will be subject to fines. Leave a Comment
