History

On Monday, November 22, 2010, the Soccer Centre's expansions (known most commonly as "the bubble") collapsed for the second time in two years. According to Perry Logan, the general manager, the collapse was most likely caused by a supporting anchor collapsing before carving a rip in the material. Nobody was inside the bubble and therefore no one was injured in the incident.[2]

In 2014, the City of Calgary built a permanent second building (the Annex) to replace the previous structure (the "bubble"). The Annex houses three indoor soccer fields and one multi-purpose field.[3]

Sports

The Calgary Soccer Centre also supports many other sports other than indoor and outdoor soccer, some of which would include field hockey, softball, football, lacrosse, lawn bowling, rugby football, and simply jogging, walking or running. The CSC also is the home venue for sports tournaments such as Jumpstart and the Canada Day lacrosse tournament.

Information

The Soccer Centre is located in the Southeast sector of Calgary, and the office is open on weekdays from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM. There is also a lounge, sandwich shop and soccer gear store.
