PARKING
Your ticket package will include two parking passes for each event valid for vehicle entry through the 5A Street gate, the vehicle tunnel and into the Infield. Since this preferred parking lot is located inside the Calgary Stampede gates, everyone in the vehicle will require an Infield Suites ticket.
For your convenience, taxi loading and drop-off is available at the south end of the Calgary Stampede next to the Erlton CTrain. Access to the Infield can be made through the Grandstand and over the south end of the track or through the south pedestrian tunnel.
