Calgary fieldhouse project enters new stage as committee approves preliminary amenity mix yyc yyccc

The city estimates the total economic benefit of a fieldhouse would be $20 million to $50 million annually, based on the estimated tourist draw of competitions and costs to event organizers. “Regardless of the success of that bid, this is an amenity that Calgarians require for everyday practice and play and ongoing competition,” said Heather Johnson, the city’s director of recreation. “It’s both an excellent part of a potential bid and a necessary facility to stand on its own.”The cost of the project is still unknown. In 2019, the city pegged the eventual cost of a new fieldhouse at $300 million, but that has likely risen over the past four years.
