McMahon Stadium (/məkˈmæn/ mək-MAN) is a Canadian football stadium in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It is owned by the University of Calgary and operated by the McMahon Stadium Society.
The stadium is located between the downtown core and the University of Calgary, north of 16 Avenue NW between Crowchild Trail and University Drive. It is adjacent to the Banff Trail C-Train station.
It is the home venue for the University of Calgary Dinos, Calgary Colts of the Canadian Junior Football League, Calgary Gators and Calgary Wolfpack of the Alberta Football League, Calgary Wild FC of the Northern Super League, and the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League, who played at Mewata Stadium from 1935 to 1959. The stadium also was the open-air venue (as an ice rink) for the National Hockey League's 2011 Heritage Classic match between the Calgary Flames and the Montreal Canadiens.
The stadium was also the location of the 1988 Winter Olympics' opening and closing ceremonies, serving as the Olympic Stadium.
