Calgary Stampeders at McMahon Stadium
McMahon Stadium has been the home of the Stampeders since it opened in 1960. The stadium is owned by the University of Calgary and named after two Calgary residents and brothers, Frank McMahon and George McMahon, who helped fund the facility’s construction. McMahon Stadium was the site of the 1988 Winter Olympics' opening and closing ceremonies and has hosted five Grey Cup finals between 1975, 1993, 2000, 2009 and 2019. The 35,400-seat venue has undergone several expansions and renovations, most notably in 1988, 2001 and 2005. During home games, fans can catch sight of Ralph the Dog, the first mascot of any CFL team, or celebrate a touchdown with the release of a white gelding known as the "Quick Six" horse, who charges along the east sideline.

The game was kept close right up until halftime. This made the game more exciting. The Stampeders eventually pull away. Thanks to some good defense play. A couple of sacks by the defense and a couple of interceptions, seemed to turn the tide for the team.This also got the offense moving.
Great atmoshpere at the game would definitely go again.
Excellent seats to see the Stampeders finally get it together and demolish the Toronto Argonauts. Full marks for all phases of the game, and good to see some new faces making a difference, especially along the defensive line. Go Stamps Go!
great game!!! had so much fun and can't wait to go the next game!!!
