As it hands over the keys to the Calgary Stampede, the CMLC says the BMO Centre expansion will transform downtown Calgary. The Stampede says 100 events are already booked.
WATCH: The Calgary Stampede took possession of the newly expanded BMO Centre as the $500 million project nears completion. As Doug Vaessen reports, Calgary Stampede says it will be ready to host its first event, the Global Energy Show, in June.Forget a handover of ceremonial keys. When Calgary Municipal Land Corporation turned over the BMO Centre expansion to the Calgary Stampede Wednesday, it was with a flourish, by doffing construction helmets in favour of cowboy hats.
“We didn’t just expand the BMO Centre; we transformed it. And that transformation is really going to put Calgary on the map.”There are plenty of one-of-a-kind finishes to make it an iconic building, like a 21-metre fireplace, the largest in Canada.BMO Centre expansion project on schedule to open for 2024 Stampede“One-hundred incremental events between opening and 2030, most of those occurring before 2028 actually,” said Joel Cowley, Calgary Stampede CEO.
“The one that we are most excited about in the near term is Rotary International, which will be here in 2025, just before the 2025 Calgary Stampede, expected to have between 25,000 and 30,000 delegates, which will probably take every hotel room between Okotoks and Airdrie.”Now comes the push for hotels, along with new pubs and restaurants. Thompson says negotiations have picked up as the project nears completion.
