Mewata Stadium (/mjuˈɑːtə/) was a multi-purpose stadium in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It was the home stadium of the Calgary Stampeders, both before and after the formation of the Canadian Football League in 1958, until they moved to McMahon Stadium for the 1960 season, where the team still plays.
The land for Mewata Park was a gift from the Government of Canada.[1] The Mewata Stadium opened in 1906, and by 1919 (if not earlier) had bleachers with a seating capacity of 10,000.[1]
The stadium was razed in 1999 and replaced with Shaw Millennium Park, including a greenspace and skateboard park.
