The artificial-turf field is marked for football, soccer and field hockey, and has field lights and a score clock. The City’s field season opens April 1, weather permitting, and closes November 1. For current field information, check the official site before you go.

Ticket and entry arrangements at McMahon Stadium vary by event, so use the event organizer’s instructions for the details that apply to your visit. For Calgary Stampeders games, the team identifies Ticketmaster as its only official ticket retailer and says tickets can be bought online through Ticketmaster.

Ticketmaster gives the Stampeder Ticket Office phone number as 403-289-0258; phone to verify box-office hours. The stadium box office is on the east side. If you are collecting a will-call order, bring the credit card used for the purchase and photo identification.

For Calgary Wild FC matches, the matchday guide directs guests to Gates 1 and 4 on the east side. Gates 2 and 3 may also open for peak matches, and gates generally open 1.5 hours before kickoff unless the event posts different instructions. Check your event details for the applicable gate and opening time.

McMahon Stadium has accessible seating, ramp access and accessible washrooms, although arrangements and access details differ by event. Calgary Wild FC places accessible seating at the north end, under the canopy above the Olympic Volunteer Center, with ramp access at the northeast corner. Mobility-restricted and accessible washrooms are located at each stadium corner.

For Stampeders football, Ticketmaster says wheelchair seating can be arranged through the Ticket Office on the Monday of game week. The cost is $5 total for the wheelchair user and an attendant, if required.

Ticketmaster also identifies specialized seating for guests who are not wheelchair users in sections X, L and N at concourse level; arrange it through the Ticket Office.

Accessible parking for Calgary Wild FC matches is in the designated east-side parking area for visitors with a government-issued pass.
