Calgary’s multi-sports fieldhouse committee decided to move forward with an amenity needs study for the newly-proposed fieldhouse.was first proposed in 2019, which was then followed by a conceptual plan that was given approval in 2021.
The amenity refinement study seeks to find a way for the fieldhouse to be a year-round indoor practice and play space, as well as a community hub for Calgary. It also seeks to find a way to make Calgary a destination of choice for major competitions and events.“This has been long overdue. It’s been a community amenity since 1967 and people have been asking for this,” said councillor and committee chair Jasmine Mian.“The most important thing is that everyone can play at the same time.
“Calgary’s a winter city and we’ve always just missed like this … You gotta have a place in the winter where we can have athletes inside and have an active and healthy city.” The new facility will also keep Calgary’s reputation as one of the most livable cities in Canada and will drive more people to move to the city, she said.“We can all agree that Calgary’s aging sports and recreation facilities need immediate investment and we need to ensure businesses that we can attract talent and position us as a destination for sporting events,” Yedlin told councillors at Wednesday’s meeting.
