Why track Scotiabank Saddledome attendance?
If your stub says Olympic Saddledome, Canadian Airlines Saddledome, or Pengrowth Saddledome, that is this same Calgary building — not a different arena, and not Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. Scotiabank Saddledome is the later printed name. Flames nights belong on the Calgary Flames game tracker. A ticket from any of those four Saddledome names still belongs here. Stampede Corral was a different barn.
A Flames stub can say Olympic Saddledome, Canadian Airlines Saddledome, Pengrowth Saddledome, or Scotiabank Saddledome and still be the same Calgary room. Ticket Timeline matches those successive printed names to the games you actually attended.
- Log Flames home games you personally attended—not today's crowd count or a live scoreboard.
- Match tickets printed Olympic Saddledome, Canadian Airlines Saddledome, or Pengrowth Saddledome to this same venue.
- Keep Stampede Corral stubs on that earlier Flames home—not mixed in as the Saddledome.
- Keep Scotiabank Arena tickets on the Toronto building—not this Calgary barn.
- Import old stubs, spreadsheets, or Gmail confirmations instead of retyping every date.
