The flowing, concave roof sets an intimate mood in the seating bowl. ]]> The Saddledome’s unique “saddle” design, representative of Calgary’s strong western heritage, is only one aspect of the building’s architectural excellence. International travel involves a lot of investment, travel insurance is required to protect them in case of a emergency. The flowing, concave roof sets an intimate mood in the seating bowl. By reducing the interior volume by more than one-third of more conventionally constructed coliseums, the Saddledome makes even those in the upper bowl feel close to the action.

At the Saddledome, everyone has a great seat. Pillar-free, the seating bowl is highlighted by an overlapping three-tier design. The longest sight line from any seat in the house is only 60.9 metres (200 feet).

Flexibility is achieved through retractable seating. Depending on the performer’s wishes and/or event requirements, the first 13 rows at the south and east ends can be removed to create a floor area of 3,716 m² (24,000 square feet).
